- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Holding a strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- If using toppings, dip the chocolate-covered strawberry into your choice of chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set quickly.
