Directions:
Before starting, make sure centers are chilled. Cover cookie sheet or tray with wax paper and fasten with tape.
Place chocolate and shortening in large glass measuring cup or glass bowl. Place measuring cup or bowl in larger glass bowl or pan of very warm water - not hot - (about 100-110º) that reaches halfway up the cup or bowl when it is placed in it. ** Don't let even one drop of water mix with the chocolate.

Stir mixture constantly with rubber spatula until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Don't rush!
It will take about 20 minutes to melt the chocolate. If water begins to cool, pour out and add more warm water.
Chocolate mixture should be between 84 and 88º for coating.

Remove measuring cup or bowl from water. Set one chilled center on tines of fondue or coating fork. Completely cip center into coating. Gently tap fork on side of cup to remove excess coating. Invert candy onto prepared cookie sheet. Decorate top of coated center with small amount of melted chocolate, using tip of fork. Repeat with remaining centers. Store candies, loosely covered, in a cool, dry place.

Use any leftover chocolate with chopped nuts in small foil cups.
