Instructions
- Place the chocolate or candy melts in microwave safe bowls.
- If you're using chocolate chips, add the shortening to the bowl.
- Microwave in 30 second increments until chocolate is just melted. Stir until smooth.
- Dip each berry in chocolate, turning to coat completely.
- If you're using toppings, roll your berries in the toppings while they're wet.
- Set the berries on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper to dry.
- If you'd like to add a chocolate drizzle to your berries, melt an additional 1/3 cup of chocolate or candy melts and place it in a plastic resealable bag.
- Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the dry berries.
- Let berries harden completely, then serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- I recommend using Ghiradelli Melting Wafers for this recipe, you can find them in the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
