Chocolate Covered Strawberry

For the day 3 of Blogging Marathon #37 under the theme desserts with fruits I wanted to share a recipe with strawberry.As Valentine's Day is around the corner thought this dessert would be perfect.
This is a simple yet rich and perfect dessert for a Valentine Day as it  can be made in no time with fewer ingredients.
The strawberry and chocolate combo makes wonder and tastes heavenly after a heavy lunch or dinner.
You can decorate the chocolate coated strawberries with candy melts,chopped nuts,white chocolate or simply with sprinkles.As I don't have candy melts,I used some chopped pistachios and colored sprinkles.Off to the recipe............................

Instead of dark chocolate,white chocolate can be used.

Using the tooth pick or wooden stick is optional but it helps for even coating.
