Chocolate Covered Strawberries16 ounces milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1 pound fresh strawberries with leaves
Directions
1. Insert toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries.
2. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture.
3. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert the toothpick into styrofoam for the chocolate to cool.
I love the recipe I found at allrecipes.com. I melt mine in the microwave instead of the double boiler and the turned our great. I did not have any styrofoam so I just put the dipped strawberries on wax paper and in the refrigerator to cool.

We love choc dipped fruit at our house as well. But to save a few calories we use almond bark either vanilla or choc flavored to dip them in. MMMMMMM
