Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Spring has sprung! Chocolate covered strawberries.... how sweet and romantic!  The combination of chocolate and strawberry are the perfect relationship. Enjoy these with ice wine and those you love.

Ingredients
Approximately 1 dozen fresh strawberries (washed and dried well)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate (chopped roughly) or chips
1/4 cup white chocolate (chopped roughly) or chips
1 tsp prepared instant coffee

Method
In a medium sized sauce pot add a 1/2 cup of water and place a heatproof glass bowl (I used a pyrex bowl), on top and melt semi-sweet chocolate until smooth, add coffee. (Do not get steam inside of bowl or chocolate goes hairy). Remove from pot and dip in your berries. Set the berries on a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Place in the refrigerator until ready for next step. In the same way as the semi-sweet chocolate, you will continue with the white chocolate. Place the melted white chocolate in a sandwich baggie and let cool a bit, but don't wait too long! Snip a teeny-tiny hole in the corner of the baggie. Drizzle the strawberries with the white chocolate, in  any design you wish. Place back into the refrigerator for a couple hours.
When they are hardened up, place each strawberry in a decorative cupcake cup and serve.
