Steps:
- Wash strawberries and dry well with a paper towel.
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining with waxed paper.
- In a medium sized, microwave-safe bowl, break up white chocolate into small pieces and melt, on medium power (my microwave I used 60% power) for approximately 4-6 minutes, checking and stirring every 2 minutes or so (we don't want the chocolate to burn). Remove from microwave and dip strawberries one at a time, holding each berry by the stem/leaves, and dipping right up to the base of the stem/leaves. Place on baking sheet/waxed paper and repeat for all strawberries.
- Place sheet in refrigerator til white chocolate sets, about 15-20 minutes.
- In another medium sized bowl, melt chocolate chips, using same time frame and power level as above (60%, 4-6 minutes). Grasp strawberries by stems again, dipping one side into the chocolate, then the other side, so that the brown chocolate makes a "V" shape visible from the front of the strawberry.
- Now, with a toothpick, "paint" on 2 or 3 buttons and a bow tie at the top of the berry (near the stem) with the brown chocolate.
- Cool on the baking sheet/waxed paper, in refrigerator, til chocolate is set. Strawberries will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, evenly-shaped strawberries for the best results.
- Make sure the white chocolate is melted slowly and evenly to avoid burning.
- Dip the strawberries in the chocolate halfway so that some of the red color still shows through.
- Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- For a more decadent treat, you can drizzle the strawberries with melted dark chocolate or sprinkle them with chopped nuts.

Whether you prefer them simple or dressed up, tuxedo strawberries are sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give tuxedo strawberries a try!
