Steps:
- Wash strawberries and dry well with a paper towel.
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining with waxed paper.
- 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.
- Place sheet in refrigerator til white chocolate sets, about 15-20 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cool on the baking sheet/waxed paper, in refrigerator, til chocolate is set. Strawberries will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE COVERED TUXEDO STRAWBERRIES
Almost any wedding or anniversary that I am close to the Bride or Groom I get elected to make Tuxedo strawberries. They are a great way to really dress up a reception table. When I make these strawberries I make a lot so I use the freezer method listed below.

Steps:
- Wash strawberries and allow to dry 2-3 hrs before dipping.
- Place 3 or 4 (depending on the amount you are making) almond bark bars in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir, continue to microwave in 15-30 second intervals until chocolate is melted.
- Dip strawberries up to leaves by holding stem/leaves, place on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
- Place strawberries in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow chocolate to harden. For a faster alternative, place in freezer for 2 minutes.
- Melt 3 or 4 bars or 1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips and wax in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir, continue to microwave in 15-30 second intervals until chocolate is melted. (Wax is optional but it gives the finished product a shiny finish rather than a dull finish).
- Dip strawberries up to leaves on the left and right side, forming a "V" in the center w/ almond bark, by holding stem/leaves, place on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
- With a toothpick or shishkabob scewer dip end in chocolate and make dots/buttons up the middle of the strawberries.
- Allow to set up in refrigerator or freezer as instructed above.
- Serve cold, I put mine on a glass,crystal serving tray.
- Hints: (Emergency Response Plan) If your chocolate becomes firm in the microwave, add a little bit of shortening or vegetable oil until it
- softens.
- Also, make strawberries the day that you are planning to serve them, with the chocolate shell the strawberries can't breathe and will shrivle up.
