Chocolate-dipped Strawberries

1 package each semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips
Vanilla chips or almond bark for drizzling
2-3 lbs strawberries
quart-size ziplock bag
canola oil

Combine chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time to prevent scorching, stirring after each time, until chocolate is smooth (go down to 15 second intervals when chocolate is nearly melted). Stir in canola oil to thin chocolate until dipping consistency is reached (approximately ¼ - ½ C). Dip strawberries (berries must be dry!) and gently shake to remove excess chocolate; set on parchment to harden. Melt vanilla chips and pour in ziplock bag. Snip the tiniest bit off one corner and drizzle over berries; let harden. Store berries in a cool place (not fridge, it will make them sweat) and serve same-day.
