How do I get my melted chocolate to be a little thinner?

I've melted both chocolate chips and chocolate bars for dipping fruits but I find that the chocolate ends up being so thick on the fruit that most times you lose the true taste of the fruit under all that chocolate.

Is there anyway I can thin out the melted chocolate a bit so that it still sticks to the fruit but not as thick?

Hi Melissa,

When I want to get my melted chocolate to be a little thinner I usually just add a little vegetable shortening (like Crisco) to it. The shortening thins it out nicely.

If you are making the chocolate covered fruit for your own eating pleasure ;-) the shortening should work fine for you.

If you don't have any Crisco on hand or you are making your treats for guests or for sale, I'd suggest you just go ahead and get some Paramount Crystals from Candyland Crafts.

The Paramount Crystals are less than $2 per bag and a little goes a long way to thin your melted chocolate and even make it creamier.

Blessings,
Angie
