Easy Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Easiest recipe you'll find and it only requires TWO ingredients!! Strawberries & Chocolate!
Baker's Dipping Chocolate to be exact, they come in a 7 oz microwave-safe container with classic flavors as Dark, Milk, and White Chocolate. Sometimes you can find it in a store brand and chocolate is chocolate so why not save a dollar, it's college! Dorm approved! No mess, no fuss, just delicious!

Ingredients:
Baker's Dipping Chocolate (or any brand)
1 pint of strawberries (varies, depend on how much chocolate you use)

Directions:
1. Wash strawberries, and be sure to dry them off completely! Otherwise the chocolate won't stick to the strawberries :(
2. Microwave dipping chocolate as directed on package.
3. Dip strawberries, place on a plate for 1-2 minute for it to harden (plastic wrap does make the clean-up easier).
4. Serve and enjoy!

If you have leftovers, which I never do, let remaining chocolate cool then cover with the lid and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
