Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment. Make sure the berries are completely dry; water makes chocolate seize.
Set aside a third of the dark chocolate. Melt the rest in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water (or in 20-second microwave bursts), stirring, until it reaches 115°F.
Remove from the heat and stir in the reserved chocolate until melted and the chocolate cools to 88 to 90°F. It's tempered when a streak on parchment sets glossy and firm within 5 minutes.
Holding each berry by its leaves, dip it in the chocolate, let the excess drip off, and set on the parchment.
Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the berries. Let set at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
