Notes
For a healthier option, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
You can also use white chocolate instead of semi-sweet for a sweeter treat.
Get creative with toppings, such as drizzling melted white chocolate over the strawberries or rolling them in chopped nuts for added texture.
If you don’t have a toothpick, you can use a fork to hold onto the strawberries while dipping them in chocolate.
