Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries, rinsed and dried completely
  • 8 oz dark chocolate chips or bars (60–70% cacao)
  • 8 oz milk chocolate chips or bars
  • 6 oz white chocolate chips or bars
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil (divided)
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted nuts (almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons sprinkles (rainbow or chocolate)
  • 2 tablespoons crushed freeze-dried fruit (optional, raspberries or strawberries)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • 1 cup shortbread or chocolate wafer cookies
  • 1 cup fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks or rods
  • Optional: dried fruit, caramel candies, or other favorite snacks

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Arrange cookies, berries, and other snacks on the serving board for easy assembly later.
  2. Place dark, milk, and white chocolate chips (separately) in microwave-safe bowls. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil to each. Microwave each bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy (about 1–2 minutes per bowl).
  3. Hold each strawberry by the stem or use a toothpick. Dip into melted chocolate, swirling until coated 2/3 up the berry. Let excess drip off, then lay on parchment paper. Alternate chocolates for variety. If chocolate thickens, reheat briefly.
  4. While chocolate is still soft, sprinkle strawberries with chopped nuts, coconut, sprinkles, freeze-dried fruit, or a pinch of flaky salt. For neat lines or patterns, drizzle with contrasting chocolate using a spoon.
  5. Allow dipped berries to set at room temperature (about 15–20 minutes). If in a rush, refrigerate for 10 minutes, but don’t leave too long to avoid condensation.
  6. Arrange chocolate-covered strawberries in the center of your board. Fill in gaps with cookies, fresh berries, marshmallows, pretzels, and any extras. Play with colors and shapes.
  7. Serve at room temperature with small forks or toothpicks for easy grabbing. Enjoy!

Notes

Dry strawberries thoroughly before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing. Use good quality chocolate for best results. Toppings stick best while chocolate is warm. For a vegan or gluten-free board, use dairy-free chocolate and gluten-free cookies. Serve at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
