Ingredients (Makes about 12 strawberries)
- 12 large fresh strawberries (washed and completely dried)
- 6 oz (1 cup) high-quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for a shinier finish)
Optional Toppings:
🍫 Drizzle: Melted white or dark chocolate for contrast
🌰 Crunch: Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts)
🍪 Sweetness: Crushed cookies, toffee bits, or sprinkles
🥥 Extra Fancy: Shredded coconut, edible gold flakes
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
- Wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry—any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking!
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. (Or use a double boiler for gentle melting!)
- Stir in 1 tsp coconut oil or butter for an extra glossy finish.
Step 3: Dip the Strawberries
- Holding the strawberry by the stem or leaves, dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly.
- Let excess chocolate drip off, then place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If adding toppings, sprinkle or dip immediately before the chocolate sets.
Step 4: Let Them Set
- Let the strawberries sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes until firm.
Step 5: Drizzle & Serve
- For an elegant touch, drizzle with melted white or dark chocolate before serving.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Pro Tips for Perfect Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
✅ Use Fresh, Firm Strawberries – Soft or overripe berries won’t hold the chocolate well.
✅ Dry Them Completely – Water causes chocolate to seize, so make sure they’re super dry!
✅ Use High-Quality Chocolate – It makes all the difference for a smooth, delicious coating.
✅ Let Them Set Properly – Avoid condensation by letting them dry at room temp first.
✅ Serve the Same Day – Best enjoyed fresh for ultimate juiciness!
Perfect Pairings
💖 Serve with: Champagne, coffee, or a romantic dessert platter.
