Dipping Chocolate

Directions

1. 1
   In a double boiler, combine the chips and shortening.
2. 2
   Slowly let chocolate melt, while stirring frequently.
3. 3
   When chocolate has completely melted to liquid and no lumps are visible, remove from heat and begin dipping! (Great for dipping cookies, pretzels, fruit, whatever!).
4. 4
   Place your chocolate-covered treats onto a plate covered with waxed paper, then chill in the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened.
5. 5
   This works great with white chocolate chips too!
