- Make sure your strawberries are at room temperature before dipping them in chocolate for a smoother coating.

- Once the chocolate has set, store the strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For best results, avoid stacking them to prevent the chocolate from getting damaged.
- If you’re planning to serve them later, consider making the chocolate-covered strawberries a day in advance and adding the pistachios just before serving for maximum crunch.
