1 pkg (11.5-oz) Nestle Toll House milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
Fresh fruit, rinsed and patted dry OR canned fruit, drained and patted dry
Over hot (not boiling) water, combine chocolate morsels and shortening in top of a double-boiler. Stir until the morsels are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove double-boiler from the heat but keep top over the hot water. If the chocolate begins to set, return to the heat and add 1 to 2 teaspoons of shortening; stir until smooth.
Dip the fruit pieces into the chocolate, shaking off excess. Place dipped fruit on foil-lined cookie sheets. Chill until set, about 10-15 minutes.
Gently loosen fruit from the foil with a thin metal spatula.
May be stored at room temperature up to 1 hour. If the chocolate becomes sticky, return to refrigerator.
Yield: 1 cup melted chocolate
