can someone tell me what to use to thin out chocolate. My white chocolate seems to be too thick for dipping.

thanks

I always use a little crisco.

You can add 1-2 T of vegetable shortening to thin out chocolate. HTH!

I use just a little bit of oil. Add 1 tsp at a time and mix very well till you get the consistancy you need. I tried adding parafin for my buckeyes and it did not turn out as good as the oil method.

thanks for the tips. This is an awesome website.......

What about cocoa butter? Does anyone add cocoa butter to their chocolate to thin it? I recently bought some to use because I thought it might work better, but haven't tried it yet. I read somewhere that shortening and oil works but the chocolate might get a little spotty after a couple of days. This did happen to me when I dipped truffles last year....
