1 package (1 lb) fresh strawberries
6 oz cream cheese (from 8-oz package), softened
24 vanilla wafer cookies, finely crushed (3/4 cup)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
2 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup white vanilla baking chips
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Continue to microwave at 15-second intervals if necessary to melt chips. Drizzle melted vanilla chips over dark chocolate on strawberries. Place each in paper baking cup.
