Place chocolate, butter and vanilla extract in a food processor or blender but don’t turn on. Run the machine until the pudding is very smooth (the hot milk mixture will melt the chocolate)
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally until smooth. Holding them by the toothpicks, dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture
Blend in chocolate chips. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch Bundt pan. In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and pudding mix
Stir peanut butter into hot chocolate until smooth. Spoon half the chocolate mixture over that. Pour the chocolate syrup into a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes on high, stopping every 30 seconds
