Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cups of store-bought mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet) use pure chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp of vegetable shortening (Crisco)

Instructions 

  • Before anything else, if you store your candies inside the refrigerator, remove them ten minutes before coating them. Remember, cold candies can cause cracked coating.
  • Afterward, put your chocolate chips and vegetable shortening inside a small or medium-sized bowl. Then, make sure to place your small bowl inside a large bowl.

  • After that, fill the large bowl with warm water about 100 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, fill your large bowl only halfway on your small bowl. Also, please avoid water from getting inside the bowl with chocolate; even a drop of water is dangerous as it will ruin your chocolate.
  • Next, stir your chocolate mixture using a small spatula for about sixteen to eighteen minutes. Likewise, you can stir till your chocolate melts. In addition to that, the mixture becomes smooth. Also, refrain from rushing the process; be patient.
  • Remember, you may replace the water with warmer water if needed. Then, remove your bowl with your chocolate mixture from the water. Afterward, continue to stir for about two to three minutes. Likewise, you can do so until the chocolate slightly cools.
  • Then, line a baking sheet with wax paper and set it aside. Also, poke one candy using your two-pronged fork. Afterward, dip it completely into your chocolate mixture. Also, ensure to tap the excess chocolate gently against your bowl's side.
  • Finally, place the dipped candy into your prepared baking sheet. Also, repeat the process with your remaining candies. If your chocolate mixture becomes too thick, place your bowl with the chocolate mixture inside a large bowl with warm water. With this, make sure to do so to achieve the desired consistency.

Notes

For the most part, avoid any moisture when dealing with chocolate. Also, keep in mind that steam and droplets of moisture can cause your chocolate to seize. Besides, seizing will lead to crumbly and grainy chocolate.
Plus, if your chocolate dipping has seized, stir one teaspoon of vegetable shortening for every two ounces of melted chocolate. In addition to that, you may melt your chocolate using a double boiler over low heat.
