Another thing I can blame on my Mom... Holiday music isn't holiday music unless it leans a little heavy on the Perry Como and the Bing Crosby.

Does anybody out there have the skill to temper chocolate?

One of my treats are Martha Washingtons, which are basically nut/coconut cores that you dip in chocolate. I cheat, like many recipes suggest you do, and add paraffin to the chocolate to harden it, but i do know there is a way to properly temper melted chocolate so it hardens. I tried messing with it this time around, but didn't have a lot of luck, and ended up going back to the tried and true standby.

If anybody has a tried and true method to temper chocolate without additives, I'd love to learn from you. Maybe we can trade kitchen secrets. :-)
