Instructions

Wash the strawberries and thoroughly dry them with paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry before dipping.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet or dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, melt the white chocolate and drizzle over the dipped strawberries for decoration.
Optionally, sprinkle nuts, coconut, or sprinkles over the wet chocolate.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.

Notes

Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
Use good quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
Consume within 1-2 days for freshness.
Store in a single layer in the refrigerator if not serving immediately.
