Dipping Chocolate - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups chocolate chips
1/4 cup shortening

Preparation

In a double boiler, combine the chips and shortening.
Slowly let chocolate melt, while stirring frequently.
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!).
Place your chocolate-covered treats onto a plate covered with waxed paper, then chill in the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened.
This works great with white chocolate chips too!
