Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Melt and Drizzle Chocolate
Place 1 unwrapped square chocolate in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 min., stirring after 30 sec. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into small resealable bag; seal bag. Snip off one bottom corner of bag; twist top of bag to drizzle chocolate over dessert as desired.
How to Thaw COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
Place unopened 8-oz. tub of whipped topping in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Do not thaw in the microwave.
