Recipe View Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, remove the toothpicks and arrange the strawberries artfully on a platter. Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of fruit and chocolate!

For a smoother chocolate coating, use high-quality chocolate with a higher cocoa butter content.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a microwave. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
To prevent the chocolate from seizing, avoid getting any water or steam into the melting chocolate.
Experiment with different toppings such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or sea salt for added flavor and texture.
