enrobe

Wrap in garments

To enrobe is to cover something completely, especially with a coating.

The word appears most often in food contexts—chocolatiers enrobe truffles, confectioners enrobe nuts or fruits: The strawberries were enrobed in dark chocolate.

The term sounds more elegant than "coat" or "cover," lending a sense of craft to the process.
