1½ cups (9 ounces)

semisweet or white chocolate chips

2 teaspoons

vegetable oil

MEASURE: Place chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 2-cup microwave-safe liquid measuring cup or small microwave-safe bowl.

2

MELT: Heat in microwave at 50 percent power until chocolate chips are almost (but not quite!) melted, about 2 minutes, stirring with spoon every 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir until chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Add food coloring if desired.

Your favorite treats for dipping

DIP: Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip your treat in the melted chocolate mixture, shake gently to let the extra chocolate drip off, and then place on parchment-lined baking sheet.

4

Your favorite toppings

ADD TOPPINGS: While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle your dipped treat with your favorite toppings.

CHILL: Freeze until chocolate is hardened, about 5 minutes, or refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 day.
