Chocolate-Dipped Coffee Kisses Recipe #345114
From the cookbook, "The Spirit of Christmas", published by Leisure Arts. You can buy the white, medium, or dark chocolate disks at your local grocery store, either in the bulk section, bakery area, or baking aisle. If you prefer, you can melt together 6 ounces of chips or baking chocolate (except unsweetened) and 1 tablespoon of shortening in place of the candy coating.
