Is there a better way to eat strawberries than just dipping them in powdered sugar?

After all, isn’t that the purest and most delicious way of eating them?

How do you include this delicate fruit in something you bake and not loose its texture or overshadow its taste?

If anything, a better way would be to dip them in chocolate.

How can something dipped in chocolate not taste heavenly? Even better, how can something dipped in two different types of chocolate not taste heavenly?

There is no way.
