Vanilla & Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Vanilla & Chocolate Covered Strawberries
 
 1 2/3 cups (10 oz pkg) vanilla milk
 2 tablespoons of shortening (not butter)
 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
 2 Pts of  fresh strawberries

Instructions:

Cover tray with waxed paper. In medium micro-wave safe bowl, place vanilla milk chips and 1 TBSP shortening. Microwave at high (100%) 1 minute; stir vigorously until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. If necessary, microwave at high and additional 30 seconds at a time, just until smooth when stirred. Holding by top, dip lower two-thirds of each strawberry into vanilla mixture; shake gently to remove excess. Place on prepared tray; refrigerate until coating is firm, at least 30 minutes. In clean, microwave safe bowl, repeat microwave process with chocolate chips; dip lower third of each berry. Refrigerate until firm. Cover and refrigerate leftovers. Makes about 2 to 3 dozen berries.
