Chocolate Covered Grapes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 bunch seedless grapes (1-lb.)
4 oz. milk chocolate pieces
4 oz. simi-sweet chocolate pieces
2 Tbsp. shortening

Preparation

Wash grapes and drain thoroughly on paper towels.
Do this several hours before ready to dip.
If one drop of water gets into melted mixture, it will cause the chocolate to harden up and become unusable.
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
In a small saucepan combine chocolate pieces and shortening.
Heat and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted.
Holding grape bunch by stem, dip grapes partially into melted chocolate.
If necessary spoon over grapes to coat.
Let excess drip off; place on prepared cookie sheet.
Chill until chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
Makes 1 bunch (about twenty, 3-5 grape servings).
