1 Quart Fresh Strawberries ( washed & dried)
1 Bag Milk Chocolate Chips

1 Bag Semi Sweet Chips                                                                 
1 Bar of Bakers White Chocolate
Sanding Sugar & Sprinkles, or coconut, your choice
I melt my chocolate in my crockpot & keep the pot on warm while working with the chocolate. You will have to stir the chocolate now & then to keep the chocolate smooth. If you do not have enough crockpots place the chocolate in a double boiler and melt it over hot water. One small saucepan placed in a larger saucepan with water in the large pan about 1/2 full of water. I used a long bamboo skewer and inserted it into the top part of the strawberry at the stem. Insert about 1/2 into the berry. Dip tip of berry into the chocolate inserting berry about 3/4 of the way down in the chocolate. Leave some red & all of the green leaves and stem uncoated.  Lift berry out of the chocolate and twirl to remove excess chocolate. With a spoon drizzle some of the dark chocolate or some of the white. Be creative and mix the order up. Dip some in white chocolate & drizzle with milk  chocolate or semi sweet. Now dip berry into the decorations that you have chosen. Lay on wax paper to cool & set. Once chocolate has hardened place in an airtight container & refrigerate ! These are best same or next day & will not keep very long but that is just fine because these will be eaten in no time !
