Chocolate covered cinnamon bears


This is the second time I've made these, now, so I thought that I'd post the "recipe". I melted 1 c. chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet) with 1 T. vegetable shortening in the top of a double boiler, stirred, and then tossed in a handful of bears into the chocolate. After making sure they were completely covered in goodness, I used a plastic for that I had broken the middle 2 tines out of to retrieve my dipped bears. The hard part is waiting for them to cool (on waxed paper). I rushed these by putting them into the fridge, but they seem to work better if allowed to cool at room temp. They are now ready for a road trip up north!
