![im just [slightly] awesome.](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tv-qevGJBp0/S0bWBo-UIiI/AAAAAAAAA9w/-hvEyRlgXvQ/S660/Picture+3.png)
i went to the store today. they had 4lbs of strawberries for just 3.99!! so i bought them.
but what was i going to do with 4 lbs of strawberries??
[... well ok we could easily eat 4lbs of strawberries since the husband loves them]
i decided to make chocolate covered strawberries. i had never made them before but it was suuuper simple! now i totally feel gypped for buying a $5 strawberry from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.. ok ok. theirs are worth $5.
so anyway.. the super easy process..
First, take your strawberries and wash & dry them.
Then, you take 1c. chocolate chips [i used semi sweet] and 2 tbsp of shortening and melt them in a double boiler. [this made enough chocolate for about 20 strawberries but mine were really big berries.]
Next, you dip in your berries, swirl them around, shake off excess chocolate, and place them on wax paper.
Lastly, let your strawberries cool at room temp for about 15 min. then you can keep them in the fridge till you serve & enjoy them!
Now that i've gotten dessert out of the way, Michael Bublé and I are making chicken tacos for dinner. :)

I commend your initiative...we ended up just gorging on the 4lb. box we just got at Costco :( But oh man, was it good, I love summer and strawberries!
