Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 heat-proof bowl
  • 1 saucepan

Ingredients

  • 14 strawberries fresh
  • 2/3 cup nuts candy-coated nuts like beer nuts, any nut is fine
  • 3.5 oz dark chocolate preferably 70% cocoa solids
  • 3.5 oz white chocolate
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the nuts into a food processor and pulse a few times until you have small chunks. You don’t want to grind them too much that they become powder as we still want some texture.
  • Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Any remaining water can affect how the chocolate sits on the strawberry. Leave the strawberries whole with the green stalk still attached. This will help with dipping the strawberry and also with eating it.
  • In a heat proof bowl, break the chocolate and microwave on a medium power for 30 seconds. Keep melting in 10 second increments until the chocolate is nearly melted, then stir to melt the last pieces. Alternatively place the chocolate in a heat proof bowl and fill a saucepan with 1 inch of water. Heat the water so it is simmering then place the bowl with the chocolate in over the water ensuring the water does not touch the bowl. Stir until melted.
  • Dip the strawberries into the chocolate until coated and place on the parchment paper. If you are coating with nuts, do this straight away. If you are doing a chocolate drizzle just coat. Place the tray into the fridge for about 15 minutes before adding the chocolate drizzle. Use a teaspoon to drizzle the chocolate over the coated strawberries. Place back into the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  • Allow the strawberries to come to room temperature before eating for best results. Eat the same day.
