1 tsp. veg. shortening
1 lb. lg. strawberries, stemmed
2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 c. vanilla or white chocolate chips
2 (1 1/2 oz.) bars milk chocolate

Clean strawberries. If strawberries are too small to hold by the stem, stick toothpicks in the center for holding. Line cookie sheet with foil or waxed paper and place near stove. Using 3 small mixing bowls, place semi-sweet chocolate and shortening in one, vanilla chips in another, and milk chocolate in the third. Fill a small saucepan with 1" water and bring to a boil over low heat. Place first bowl over the saucepan to melt the chocolate. Stir with wooden spoon until smooth and shiny. Using 1/3 of the strawberries, dip in the chocolate and place on the cookie sheet. Repeat with vanilla chips and with milk chocolate. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens, about 1 hour.
