Repeat to glaze all the remaining berries. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about to minutes. Transfer the berries, in a single layer, to a covered container and refrigerate until serving. to serve, arrange the chilled strawberries on a plate garnished with mint. tip: Chocolate should be stored, tightly wrapped, in a cool, dry place, where it will keep for years.
