Chocolate Dip-A-Chip

Ingredients:
8 oz. (8 squares) semi-sweet chocolate or 8 oz. (1 1/3 c.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. shortening
7 1/2 oz. can stacked potato chips

Directions:
Line cookie sheets with waxed paper.  In a small saucepan, melt chocolate and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly.  Dip chips halfway into chocolate; allow excess to drip off.  Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheets; refrigerate to set.

Note~ Can make the chocolate in the microwave.  In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and shortening.  Microwave on medium for 3-3 1/2 minutes or until smooth, stirring once halfway through cooking; stir until smooth.  Continue as directed above.

Note~ A co-worker of mine brought some of these made at a candy shop nearby to work and I was shocked with how good they were.  I never thought about chocolate covered potato chips before.
