If drizzling with white chocolate, melt white chocolate. Place chocolate into a disposable piping bag or a zip-top storage bad. Cut a very small opening at the tip to drizzle the white chocolate onto the chocolate coated berries once the dark chocolate has firmed. Let firm before serving or refrigerate until ready to serve.If it will be a while before you serve, place dipped strawberries in the refrigerator. They will lose their nice shiney look, but again, they will taste just as good.
