I don't think that is going to do it. I need a chocolate coating for candy that will dry and harden. The recipe calls for a bag of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons parafin. I want to use baker's squares instead of the semisweet chocolate chips and sweeten it with Splenda. If I can't find something, I can use sugar but I still need to use the baker's chocolate because that is all I have.

Sorry, I have a house full of family tonight.. I have never made chocolate coated anything, nor do I like to do candy, but I do know how to eat it.. Ha!
The only thing that I can think of as a hardening coating I have ever done was a bar of paraffin and 1 large bag of Chocolate Chips. Melted over double boiler. If I can find anything additional, and if my grand kids let me I will post another recipe.. sorry honey.. bad time tonight.
