If you do melt it just be sure to use a double boiler. That's just a big pot of water with a pot above it and that way it doesnt "cook" the other ingredients with the heat of a flame but rather the proper temperature of boiling water. The double boiler will get it to melting point once the water is boiling in about 15 minutes. Dont just use a pot on a stove, your heat is far from evenly distributed and it's too much heat. Stir it while it heats up and just before pouring it back into a container. Let it cool at room temperature in an air-tight container for a day, and then cool it down for another day. You are then done.

You will be changing the way the manufacturer heats and mixes the product, so the properties will change, however if you use a double boiler it wont be anything over marginally noticeable, and who knows, might even improve.
