Ingredients

32 ounces strawberries washed
6 ounces milk chocolate chips
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Thoroughly dry the strawberries after washing them.
Combine the 6 ounces milk chocolate chips and 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium heat-proof bowl.
Place the bowl on top of a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water in the bottom of the saucepan. Make sure the water isn't touching the bottom of the bowl with the chocolate chips in it.
Place over low heat and let the water simmer. Stir the chocolate chips until they're melted.
Once the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth, turn the heat off. Leave the bowl on top of the saucepan to keep it warm while you're dipping the strawberries.
Line your work area with wax paper.
While holding the leaf of the strawberry, dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate. While still holding the strawberry, use the other hand to gently tap the wrist holding the strawberry to remove any excess chocolate.
Place the strawberry on the wax paper.
Allow the strawberries to harden. This will take 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature or transfer the wax paper with the strawberries to the fridge with a cookie sheet for the chocolate to firm up quicker.
Add any extra chocolate to a sandwich bag and cut a small hole in one of the corners.
Drizzle on the strawberry once the chocolate shell has hardened by quickly going back and forth over top of the strawberries while applying even pressure to the sandwich bag.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes
