For candy making, chocolate baking bars are preferred, but you can also use chocolate chips.
Melt chocolate with coconut oil, shortening or paraffin wax over a double boiler, stirring frequently until chocolate is melted and smooth.
Use for coating Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls, Coconut Clusters, Candied Fruit, Coconut Macaroons or other cookies. May also be used for short-aged Chocolate Covered Cherries.
