CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE:

Place 1/2 cup Hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tsp. shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread, or oil) in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. If necessary, microwave an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, just until chips are melted.
