INSTANT CHOCOLATE HARD SHELL
Two ingredients and less than 5 minutes to a delicious chocolate candy shell for ice cream. After trying recipe after recipe that turned out either rock hard or thick gummy hard shells - I thought to read the ingredient list on a bottle of the store stuff and came up with this! You can use any oil that has NO flavor or has a flavor compatible with chocolate and your ice cream - canola or soybean work ok here, but the coconut oil sends the flavor over the top and makes it a tad crunchier! Drizzle on top of your favorite ice cream!

THE BEST DIPPING/COATING CHOCOLATE EVER!
The most wonderful chocolate in which to dip almost anything! My Mom gave me this recipe years and years ago. I can't believe how many things I can find to dip into it, besides my fingers! The addition of the food-grade paraffin gives beautiful snap and finished gloss when your chocolate project is completed.

Steps:
- Chop the paraffin into small pieces.
- Melt the paraffin in the microwave, or on top of a double-boiler. (This takes quite a while, so be patient.).
- When the paraffin is melted, add the chocolate.
- Stir all together.
- 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.
- Dip marshmallows, nuts, dried fruit, cookies, pretzels, or whatever you like.
- 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.).
- After dipping, place on a waxed-paper lined cookie-sheet and allow to harden. 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on ambient temperature.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the shell coating will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize the cocoa butter and prevent the chocolate from seizing. This will result in a smooth, shiny shell coating.
- Use a thin layer of chocolate: The thinner the layer of chocolate, the easier it will be to work with and the less likely it is to crack.
- Chill the chocolate-coated treats: Chilling the treats will help the chocolate to set and harden. This will make them easier to handle and less likely to melt.
Conclusion:
Chocolate shell coating is a delicious and versatile way to decorate and protect your favorite treats. With a little practice, you can easily create beautiful and professional-looking chocolate-coated treats at home. So next time you're looking for a way to add a special touch to your desserts, give chocolate shell coating a try. You won't be disappointed!
