IF DESIRED - dip into a shallow bowl of chocolate chips, nuts and sprinkles. 

Set the strawberry on the parchment,  sliding forward slightly and continue with the remaining strawberries and if the chocolate becomes too cool and firm at any point, reheat in the microwave.

Remove the white chocolate to a  ziptop bag and snip a very small hole in some corner - then drizzle white chocolate all over the dried milk chocolate covered strawberries. 
 Let the strawberries set before serving - 30 minutes at/in room temperature - Then 15 to 20 min in
refrigeration.
