Step 1:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2:

Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.

Step 3:

Melt the chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted.

Step 4:

Holding each strawberry by the leaves, dip it into the melted chocolate, twirling to coat evenly.

Step 5:

Let excess chocolate drip off, then place the dipped strawberry on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6:

Immediately sprinkle with nuts or sprinkles if desired, before the chocolate sets. For a white chocolate drizzle, wait until the dark chocolate has set, then drizzle with melted white chocolate using a fork or piping bag.

Step 7:

Repeat with remaining strawberries.

Step 8:

Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature (about 30 minutes) or refrigerate briefly for faster setting.

Step 9:

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
