Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I was so worked up over the whole eBay debacle that I decided the only thing in the entire world that would make it better was chocolate covered strawberries. Turns out, they're actually quite simple to make. Take fresh strawberries:

wash them and dry them completely. Then heat up 6 oz (about a cup) of dark chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate chips, by putting it in a ceramic dish in a hot pot of water on the stove. Stir it until it is smooth (I added a little milk). Then dip each strawberry into the chocolatey goodness and lay out onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Let cool (or speed up the whole cooling process by putting it into the fridge) and you get this!:

Instant pick me up. Enjoy!
