Share your sweet tooth with someone you love this Valentine’s Day. Here’s how to make some delicious chocolate covered treats in the spirit of love.

Ingredients:

• 6-Ounces of Chocolate Morsels (dark, milk or white)
• 2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
• 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Shortening
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons Water
• double boiler
  
• Cookie Sheets
• waxed paper
  
• Treats to Dip: Fruit, Pretzel Rods, Marshmallows
• Optional: Decorate your chocolate candy treats with strands, sprinkles or chopped up candy cane.

Using a double boiler pot (alternative to use 3″ of water and place a smaller pot inside which you will fill with your chocolate mixture) :

Combine Chocolate Morsels, Corn Syrup, Shortening and Water when the water is over hot, not boiling hot water.

Stir until the morsels melt and the mixture is smooth.

Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat but keep it over the hot water. Dip pretzels, marshmallows, apples etc. into the chocolate dip to coat with chocolate.

Place chocolate dipped treats on waxed paper lined cookie sheets and decorate as desired with strands, sprinkles, nuts, coconut, mini candies etc.

Chill in refrigerator for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating sets.

Then remove chocolate dipped treats from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature until the chocolate coating dries.
