Notes
To keep the white and semi-sweet chocolate from breaking apart, pour the white chocolate over the semi-sweet while it's still a bit warm and not dry.
After the chocolate sets, make sure it is at room temperature before breaking it into pieces to keep separation to a minimum.
Store it in air-tight containers and keep it in the refrigerator.
