# What You Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 20 large fresh strawberries, washed and dried with leaves intact
→ Chocolate
02 - 7 oz high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
→ Optional Toppings
03 - 2 tablespoons chopped toasted nuts (pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts)
04 - 2 tablespoons white chocolate, melted for drizzling
05 - 2 tablespoons sprinkles or edible glitter
# How-To:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place dipped strawberries.
02 - Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt over simmering water, stirring until smooth, or microwave in 20-second intervals stirring between each.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the leaves and dip into melted chocolate, rotating to coat evenly.
04 - Allow excess chocolate to drip, then place each dipped strawberry on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Sprinkle nuts or sprinkles immediately before chocolate sets; for white chocolate drizzle, wait until dark chocolate is set and then drizzle using a fork or piping bag.
06 - Continue dipping and decorating remaining strawberries following previous steps.
07 - Let strawberries sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate briefly for quicker setting.
08 - Present chilled or at room temperature for best taste.
