1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
1 cup broken pecans or walnuts

In a medium microwave safe bowl, place the chips and shortening and microwave on HIGH (100%) for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until smooth when stirred. Stir in the nuts. Spoon heaping teaspoonfuls of the mixture into 1-inch paper candy cups or paper lined mini muffin cups, filling each cup half full. Refrigerate until firm. Peel off the paper cups, if desired.
