What can you cover with chocolate? Well, like the name says, anything. Some things will definitely taste better than others, and some will probably not work unless you have really unusual tastes, but chocolate is used to cover a wide range of different foods, and not just the standards.
Standard items include fruit - such as strawberries with a chocolate and fondue, for which marshmallows are also used, and cherries - biscuits or cookies - there are many different chocolate covered biscuits - and nuts of many different types, both culinary and botanical.
More unusual items include foods that would normally be considered savoury, such as pretzels, crisps (potato chips) and, rather bizarrely, bacon. Some of the earliest known uses of chocolate by Mesoamericans did include mixing it with savoury foods that today seem odd to most, such as chillies.
You can try covering anything in melted chocolate, simply by either dipping it in or mixing it into the chocolate, but if it's something you've never tried before, it's best to just do one or two items as a sample, just in case it turns out to taste horrible.
