Have some sprinkles and nuts on hand so you can customize this microwave dessert just the way you like it!

What You'll Need

4 (1-ounce) semisweet chocolate baking squares
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tablespoon shortening
3 (5.3-ounce) boxes shortbread cookies

What to Do

Microwave chocolate, butter, and shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 minute, stirring at 15-second intervals. Stir until smooth. (Higher wattage microwaves may cook in less time.)
Dip ends of cookies melted chocolate, and roll in desired toppings such as finely chopped toasted pecans, crushed hard peppermint candies, toasted sweetened flaked coconut, or red or green candy sprinkles. Place on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet, and let stand 30 minutes or until firm.
