tuxedo Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

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). 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. Place on baking sheet/waxed paper and repeat for all strawberries.
4. Place sheet in refrigerator til white chocolate sets, about 15-20 minutes.
5. In another medium sized bowl, melt chocolate chips, using same time frame and power level as above (60%, 4-6 minutes). 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.
6. 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.
7. Cool on the baking sheet/waxed paper, in refrigerator, til chocolate is set. Strawberries will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
