Hi CC'ers

I am about experiment with some chocolate-covered Oreo cookies and I need some advice. The recipe that I will be using calls for 12ozs chocolate chips (either dark or white) and 1 tbsp shortening.

I want to test the white chocolate version because I have some Americolor Electric colours that I would like to use. My question is:

I know that typically I should add some FloCoat to the gel paste colours but do I need to do this since the melted chocolate already contains the shortening?

Please let me know because I don't have much ingredients to work with and I wouldn't like to spoil it.

Thanks!

Stacey
