what is good dipped in chocolate
Salty Snacks. The contrast between sweet and salty is a crowd-pleaser. Salty snacks, such as small pretzels or even large pretzel rods are popular dipped in the chocolate fountain. Other salty snacks such as potato chips and crackers are also good. Crisp slices of bacon dipped in chocolate are an unexpected and fun combination.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture. Insert toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into styrofoam for the chocolate to cool.
