Prepare the strawberries

• Wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
• Leave the stems on so they are easy to hold while dipping.

Melt the chocolate

• Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or in short bursts in the microwave.
• Stir until smooth and glossy.

Dip the strawberries

• Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, leaving the top part bare.
• Let the excess chocolate drip off and place the strawberries on a tray lined with baking paper.

Decorate

• Melt the white chocolate and tint it pink with food coloring if you like.
• Drizzle or pipe thin lines over the chocolate-coated strawberries.

Chill and serve

• Refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set.
• Serve the strawberries cold.
