    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Chocolate Covered Strawberries
    Categories: Five, Fruits, Chocolate
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 pt Fresh strawberries
    8 oz Pkg chocolate bark.

    Wash and drain strawberries. Pat dry with paper towel.
    Leave stems intact. Place half of the chocolate in a
    microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high until melted
    (appx 2 min). Holding berries by the stem, dip one at a
    time into the chocolate. Gently shake excess and place
    on waxed paper until firm. If chocolate becomes too
    thick reheat for a few seconds.

    CHOCOLATE BASKET: cover a dish of desired shape (pie
    pan) with foil and spray lightly with Pam. Place melted
    chocolate in a ziploc bag and seal. Snip a small hole in
    the corner and drizzle the chocolate to create a basket.

    Chill until firm. Carefully remove the basket. Place on
    a serving tray and fill with chocolate covered
    strawberries.
