Recipe

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Cut cream cheese into equal pieces. Place them on a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Melt the chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Hold each piece over pan in a slotted spoon and spoon the chocolate over the piece, coating completely and allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the saucepan. Return to the baking sheet; refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the chocolate and cream cheese are solid. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
