Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Nuts (Printable Version)

Fresh strawberries dipped in rich chocolate and topped with crunchy nuts for a simple, elegant treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

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

→ Chocolate

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

→ Toppings

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

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to set the dipped strawberries.
02 - Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl placed over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between bursts.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, turning carefully to coat evenly.
04 - Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then immediately sprinkle or dip the coated strawberry into the chopped nuts.
05 - Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Continue dipping and topping the remaining strawberries, laying each on the baking sheet as you finish.
07 - Let the strawberries rest at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set, or refrigerate for quicker setting.
08 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • It takes less time than brewing a pot of coffee but feels like a gift you labored over.
  • The contrast of textures—soft berry, crisp chocolate shell, toasted nut crunch—is quietly addictive.
  • You can customize every detail, from bittersweet to milk chocolate, pistachios to coconut, making it yours.
  • They look impressive on any table but require no special skills or equipment.
02 -
  • Even a drop of water will cause the chocolate to seize into a grainy mess, so make sure your strawberries are bone dry and your bowl is completely moisture-free.
  • If the chocolate starts to thicken as it cools, just reheat it gently for a few seconds to bring back that silky, dippable consistency.
  • Don't refrigerate them for too long or condensation will form when you take them out, dulling the shine and making the chocolate weep.
03 -
  • Use a fork to gently hold the strawberry if the stems are too short or fragile—it's less pretty but far more practical.
  • Add a tiny pinch of flaky salt to the chocolate before dipping for a subtle savory contrast that makes the sweetness sing.
  • If you're making these for a party, prep the strawberries and chop the nuts the night before so all you have to do is melt and dip.
