Dark chocolate or milk chocolate—you decide. Either way you go, this dessert is pure luxury.

Ingredients

1 lb strawberries, with stems
2 cups dark or milk chocolate wafers (or melting discs)
1/4 cup white chocolate wafers (or melting discs)

Directions

Wash, drain, and dry strawberries with paper towels. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
In a crockpot or double boiler melt dark or milk chocolate, stirring often. In another crockpot or double boiler, melt white chocolate and stir.
Hold strawberries at stem (or insert wooden toothpick or skewer into each berry) and dip into dark or milk chocolate to cover two-thirds of the berry. Allow excess chocolate to drain off.
Place berries on the baking sheet to cool. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Remove baking sheet from refrigerator. Dip a toothpick or wooden skewer in the melted white chocolate. Use to drizzle white chocolate over the chocolate dipped strawberries in a zigzag pattern.
