Method

1. Wash the strawberries¹ and pat them *completely* dry—chocolate won’t stick to wet berries; leave the stems on.

2. Melt dark² chocolate with butter⁴ in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each; melt milk³ chocolate separately for drizzling.

3. Hold each berry by the stem and dip it two-thirds into the chocolate, let excess drip off, then place on parchment.

4. Pipe or drizzle milk³ chocolate in zigzags using a corner of the wrapper.

5. Chill for 15 minutes until set; eat the same day.
