Steps:
- Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
- Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.
- Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Paraffin was originally used instead of shortening. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on a sheet of wax paper. White chocolate may be drizzled over the milk chocolate for a fancier look. They are perfect for weddings when decorated with frosting bow ties, bells, butterflies, roses, etc.

Steps:
- Place chocolate in a bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally, until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. One at a time, dip each strawberry in chocolate, twirling to coat; then sprinkle chocolate-covered portion with pistachios, if using, and place on waxed paper.
- Chill chocolate-dipped strawberries at least 15 minutes to set chocolate. (Strawberries should not be stored in refrigerator longer than 1 hour as condensation drops may collect on the chocolate.)
Tips:
- Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly before dipping them in chocolate.
- Use a dark chocolate coating for a richer flavor.
- If you don't have time to make your own chocolate coating, you can use a store-bought chocolate chips or candy melts.
- To make the chocolate coating even more flavorful, add a little bit of vanilla extract or almond extract.
- If you want to add toppings to your strawberries, such as nuts, sprinkles, or coconut, do so immediately after dipping them in chocolate so that the toppings will stick.
- Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-covered strawberries are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. By using fresh, ripe strawberries and a high-quality chocolate coating, you can create chocolate-covered strawberries that taste just as good as they look.
