Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Nuts (Printable Version)

Fresh strawberries coated in smooth chocolate and topped with crunchy chopped nuts.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 16 large fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried, stems intact

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

→ Nuts

03 - ½ cup mixed nuts such as pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts, finely chopped

→ Optional

04 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil or unsalted butter for smoother chocolate consistency

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
02 - Place the chopped chocolate and coconut oil or butter if using in a heatproof bowl.
03 - Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until completely smooth and glossy.
04 - Hold each strawberry firmly by the green stem and dip into the melted chocolate, rotating carefully to ensure even coating on all sides.
05 - Allow excess chocolate to drip off briefly, then immediately press the chocolate-dipped portion into the finely chopped nuts or sprinkle nuts generously over the top.
06 - Transfer each finished strawberry to the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to prevent touching.
07 - Let the chocolate set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes until completely firm.
08 - Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours before serving.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • These look impressive but come together in under 30 minutes with zero baking required
  • The combination of juicy strawberries, smooth chocolate, and crunchy nuts hits every texture craving
02 -
  • Water is chocolate's enemy—even a drop can seize it into a grainy mess that's impossible to fix
  • The strawberries must be completely dry or the chocolate will slide off in sad little puddles
03 -
  • Room temperature strawberries prevent the chocolate from hardening too fast, giving you more time to work
  • Work quickly once the chocolate is melted or you'll end up with uneven coating
