Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Nuts (Printable)

Fresh strawberries coated in chocolate and sprinkled with chopped nuts for a simple elegant treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 20 large fresh strawberries, rinsed and thoroughly dried, stems on

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 oz good-quality dark or milk chocolate, chopped

→ Nuts

03 - 1/3 cup finely chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans)

→ Optional

04 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter for smoother chocolate

# How To Make:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - Place chopped chocolate and optional coconut oil or butter in a heatproof bowl. Gently melt over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the berry. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
04 - Immediately sprinkle or roll the chocolate-coated section in finely chopped nuts.
05 - Place dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining berries.
06 - Let chocolate set at room temperature for 30–45 minutes or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.
07 - Serve immediately or store in a single layer in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look fancy enough to impress, but honestly take less time than deciding what movie to watch.
  • Everyone instinctively reaches for them—there's something about chocolate-dipped fruit that feels like a small celebration.
  • You can make them an hour before guests arrive and genuinely relax instead of scrambling in the kitchen.
02 -
  • Wet strawberries will reject chocolate like oil and water—patting them completely dry is the non-negotiable step that separates glossy-looking berries from disappointed ones.
  • Temperature matters: if your kitchen is warm, the chocolate takes forever to set, so the fridge becomes your best friend rather than something to skip.
03 -
  • If your chocolate seizes or gets grainy, don't panic—stir in a tiny bit of coconut oil and it usually comes back to life.
  • The secret to berries that don't slide around while dipping is holding them only by the very top of the stem, which keeps your fingers steady and confident.
