Chocolate-covered Strawberries

Ingredients

 * 2 	quarts of firm large strawberries
 * 2 (12 	ounce) bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
 * 2 (6 	ounce) boxes white chocolate or almond bark

Directions

 * 1) Wash strawberries and dry well with a paper towel.
 * 2) Prepare a large baking sheet by lining with waxed paper.
 * 3) In a medium sized, microwave-safe bowl, break up white chocolate into small pieces and melt, on medium power (my microwave I used 60% power) for approximately 4–6 minutes, checking and stirring every 2 minutes or so (we don't want the chocolate to burn).
 * 4) Remove from microwave and dip strawberries one at a time, holding each berry by the stem/leaves, and dipping right up to the base of the stem/leaves.
 * 5) Place on baking sheet/waxed paper and repeat for all strawberries.
 * 6) Place sheet in refrigerator til white chocolate sets, about 15–20 minutes.
 * 7) In another medium sized bowl, melt chocolate chips, using same time frame and power level as above (60%, 4–6 minutes).
 * 8) Grasp strawberries by stems again, dipping one side into the chocolate, then the other side, so that the brown chocolate makes a "V" shape visible from the front of the strawberry.
 * 9) Now, with a toothpick, "paint" on 2 or 3 buttons and a bow tie at the top of the berry (near the stem) with the brown chocolate.
 * 10) Cool on the baking sheet/waxed paper, in refrigerator, til chocolate is set.
 * 11) Strawberries will last 2–3 days in the refrigerator.
