Chocolate has to reach a certain temperature in order to coat something with; it WILL cook a cherry tomato, should it be dipped into tempered chocolate!

Chocolate covered insects, sadly, isn't a "joke", something all too real. :-(

“The melting point of chocolate is between 86 degrees F. (30 degrees C.) and 90 degrees F. (32 degrees C.), lower than body temperature. Using high heat is very risky and the most common cause of grainy and/or lumpy chocolate. Chocolate melts better and faster when using lower temperatures.”

“What is the temperature to temper chocolate?
Heat it for 5 to 10 seconds at a time, stirring and checking the temperature before reheating. For dark chocolate, reheat to 88°F to 91°F. For milk and white chocolate, reheat to 87°F to 88°F. If you keep your chocolate within these temperature ranges, it will stay in temper and be liquid enough to use.”
