Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

  
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
(can substitute all semi-sweet or all milk chocolate chips according to your own tastes)
1 tablespoon Shortening (do not use butter, margarine or oil)
Fresh Strawberries, rinsed and patted dry (about 2 pints)

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Cover tray with wax paper. Place chocolate chips and shortening in medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave at high (100%) for 1 minute. Stir. If necessary, microwave additional 30 seconds or until chips are melted and mixture becomes smooth when stirred vigorously. DO NOT over heat.

Holding by the top, dip bottom two-thirds of each strawberry into melted mixture. Shake gently to remove excess. Place on prepared tray.

Cover and refrigerate until coating is firm, about 1 hour.
