Can anyone tell me if adding shortening to melted choco. chips will make them more smooth and fluid for dipping strawberries? I find that they are too thick for a good coating.

Thanks!

Hi Get, try using the chocolate bars like Bakers Chocolate. The morsels have a hardner in them to help keep their shape when baking; therefore, when you melt them, it will seem a bit thick.

Yes, you can add shortening. I have done it once and they were great!
