Dip Each Strawberry: Hold each strawberry by its stem and dip it into the melted chocolate. Swirl it around gently to coat it evenly before lifting it out.
Add Decorative Touches: Place dipped strawberries on parchment paper or a silicone mat. While the chocolate is still warm, add your decorative toppings or drizzle additional melted chocolate over them.
Let Them Set: Allow your decorated strawberries to cool at room temperature or refrigerate them until the chocolate hardens completely. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
