The Best Dipping/coating Chocolate Ever!

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 12 ounces chocolate, chopped into small pieces. (any type will do, although i am partial to hershey's milk chocolate)
• 2 ounces canning paraffin wax, like gulf wax (about 1/2 bar)

Recipe

• 1 chop the paraffin into small pieces.
• 2 melt the paraffin in the microwave, or on top of a double-boiler. (this takes quite a while, so be patient.).
• 3 when the paraffin is melted, add the chocolate.
• 4 stir all together.
• 5 if using the microwave, continue heating for 1-minute intervals, using 50% power, until everything is well-blended. be sure to stir your mixture between 1-minute heatings. if using a double-boiler, stir the chocolate/paraffin mixture constantly until fully mixed.
• 6 dip marshmallows, nuts, dried fruit, cookies, pretzels, or whatever you like.
• 7 fresh fruits should be at the peak of ripeness. after rinsing your fresh fruit, you need to be sure it's patted completely dry. (chocolate will not cling to wet fruit.).
• 8 after dipping, place on a waxed-paper lined cookie-sheet and allow to harden. 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on ambient temperature.
