Chocolate Covered Strawberries

2 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped*

8 strawberries

Combine the chocolate and whipping cream in a glass measuring cup or bowl.

Microwave at medium power for 1 minute or until the chocolate melts, stirring after 30 seconds.  Remove from microwave and cool slightly.  Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.  Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet.  Refrigerate or freeze for approximately 15 minutes, until the chocolate is set.
