Answers:
Confectioners coating is a solid candy!. It comes in vanilla (which is usually colored pastels) and chocolate!. It's sold in bars, chunks and disks!. It's melted then used for molding and dipping candies!. Sometimes it's called "almond bark coating" or "chocolate bark coating!."
Here's what it looks like in disk form:

You could use melted chocolate chips if you want!. It wouldn't be exactly the same, but should be close enough!.
Don't add powdered sugar to the chips when you melt them, though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

that is a coating like the chocolate bark that we dip candy and stuff into!.
You can make your own by making a fudge sauce and adding some paraffin to it to make it set up nicely!.
melted chocolate chips with some added karo would work very well!. if this gets too thick to dip your cakes into, thin it with paraffin!.
I do all this over boiling water to prevent burning the chocolate bark!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Confectioner's coating is chocolate like chocolate chips with a high high high fat content, preferably a saturated fat!. White chocolate is usually pretty similar in consistency!. You might try to add some lard or vegetable shortening to chocolate chips, but I'm not having much luck finding a recipe for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
just mix the confectioners sugar with cocoa baking powder
if you want it a darker color and more chocolatly taste just add more cocoa to what you think, or lighter and not that chocolaty less cocoa powder!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can melt chocolate and use that, but it won't be as glossy as the confectioner's coating!. You could sprinkle them with chocolate powder after dipping them to make them look pretty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You can shave some dark or milk chocolate into the confectioners, too for a different look!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you can use ordinary chocolate or chocolate chipsWww@FoodAQ@Com
