# 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.
05 - Immediately sprinkle with nuts or sprinkles before chocolate sets. For white chocolate drizzle, wait until dark chocolate sets, then drizzle melted white chocolate with a fork or piping bag.
06 - Continue dipping and topping remaining strawberries.
07 - Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate briefly for faster setting.
08 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.
