Dipping Chocolate

1. 1

   Place the chocolate in a double boiler or medium-size metal bowl over a small pot of simmering water over low heat.

2. 2

   Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.

3. 3

   Stir the chocolate until melted.

4. 4

   Stir the shortening into the chocolate until completely melted and combined.

5. 5

   Remove from heat.

6. 6

   Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

7. 7

   Dip a pretzel or piece of fruit into the bowl until it is half-submerged in the chocolate; lightly drag it along the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

8. 8

   Place on the baking sheet.

9. 9

   When finished dipping, place the sheet in a cool place to set the chocolate, about 3 to 5 minutes.
