Juicy strawberries coated in rich dark chocolate with optional toppings for a festive touch.

# Ingredient List:

→ Fruit

01 - 20 large fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried, 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 Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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 fully into the melted chocolate, twirling to coat evenly.
04 - Let excess chocolate drip off, then place the dipped strawberry on the prepared baking sheet.
