Instructions
Prepare the baking sheet.

Dip the strawberries.
- Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted semisweet chocolate. Lift the strawberry and tap it lightly to allow any excess chocolate to fall back into the bowl.
Arrange on the baking sheet.

Chill until set.
- Refrigerate the strawberries until the chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.
Melt the white chocolate.
- Place the white chocolate in a metal bowl set over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
Drizzle the strawberries.
- Transfer the melted white chocolate to a zip-top bag and snip a small corner from the bag. Drizzle the white chocolate over the chilled strawberries.
Chill again.
- Return the strawberries to the refrigerator and chill until the white chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.
