CHOCOLATE FOR DIPPING
Steps:
- Line baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
- Remove candy to be dipped from refrigerator about 10 minutes before dipping. Dipping cold centers can result in cracked coating or bloom (white crystals) on coating.
- Place chocolate chips and shortening into 2-cup glass measuring cup. Place measuring cup into bowl which contains very warm (100°F to 110°F) water reaching halfway up measuring cup. (Don't let even one drop of water mix with chocolate.) Stir mixture constantly with rubber spatula 18-22 minutes or until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. (Do not rush melting process.) Replace water with more very warm water, if necessary. Remove measuring cup from bowl; continue stirring 2-3 minutes or until chocolate is cooled slightly.
- Set one candy center onto tines of fondue fork or 2 pronged fork. Completely dip center into melted chocolate. Gently tap fork against side of measuring cup to remove excess melted chocolate. Invert candy onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining centers. Place measuring cup into bowl of very warm water, if melted chocolate becomes too thick for dipping; stir until desired consistency.

Steps:
- Chop the paraffin into small pieces.
- Melt the paraffin in the microwave, or on top of a double-boiler. (This takes quite a while, so be patient.).
- When the paraffin is melted, add the chocolate.
- Stir all together.
- If using the microwave, continue heating for 1-minute intervals, using 50% power, until everything is well-blended. Be sure to stir your mixture between 1-minute heatings. If using a double-boiler, stir the chocolate/paraffin mixture constantly until fully mixed.
- Dip marshmallows, nuts, dried fruit, cookies, pretzels, or whatever you like.
- Fresh fruits should be at the peak of ripeness. After rinsing your fresh fruit, you need to be sure it's patted completely dry. (Chocolate will not cling to wet fruit.).
- After dipping, place on a waxed-paper lined cookie-sheet and allow to harden. 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on ambient temperature.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the dipping chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Temper the chocolate: Tempering is a process of heating and cooling chocolate in a specific way to stabilize it and make it shiny and smooth. This will help the chocolate set properly and give it a better texture.
- Use a double boiler: A double boiler is a gentle way to melt chocolate without overheating it. If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Add flavorings: You can add flavorings to your dipping chocolate to create different variations. Some popular flavorings include vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and cinnamon.
- Use a variety of dipping items: Dipping chocolate can be used to coat a variety of items, such as fruits, cookies, pretzels, and marshmallows. Get creative and experiment with different combinations.
- Be patient: Dipping chocolate takes time and patience. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with chocolate that is too thick or too thin.
Conclusion:
Dipping chocolate is a delicious and versatile treat that can be used to coat a variety of items. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect dipping chocolate at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give dipping chocolate a try. You won't be disappointed.
