   In small bowl combine 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1-1/2 teaspoons
   solid vegetable shortening; cook on high (100% power) 40 to 50 seconds
   until shortening is melted and chips lose their shape when stirred. Stir
   until blended and smooth. Using pastry brush, brush mixture over undersides
   of 16 to 32 small fresh lemon or mint leaves; place leaves as they are
   coated on foil-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate 10 minutes until chocolate
   is firm. Remove from refrigerator; let stand about 5 minutes. Carefully
   peel leaves from chocolate; refrigerate chocolate leaves until ready to
   use. Source: Redbook Magazine - April, 1993 Reformatted for MealMaster by:
