Chocolate Covered Strawberries

16 oz. milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1lb. fresh strawberries

Pick fresh strawberries with some stem still attached, or use toothpicks inserted in the top.

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring until smooth.
Holding the strawberries by the stem, dip them into the chocolate. Lay them on wax paper to cool.
