Strawberry Peanut Butter Delights

5 ounces milk chocolate, divided
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons whipped topping
16 to 18 large strawberries

In a microwave-safe bowl, place 2 ounces chocolate (about 1/3 cup chips). Heat in microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until chocolate is melted. Set aside to let bowl cool, then stir in peanut butter and whipped topping.

Wash and dry strawberries, leaving hulls on. Cut each berry in half and spread one half with about one tablespoon peanut butter mixture. Top with the other half, pressing together. Refrigerate until filling is firm.

Melt remaining chocolate in microwave. Dip the tip of each filled berry in melted chocolate. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
