How many calories are in a chocolate dipped strawberry?
Three hand dipped strawberries weigh 113 g and carry 170 calories. Per 100 g the same berries run 150 calories, which puts one average piece near 57. The fruit inside is nearly free; almost all of that number is the shell of chocolate around it, and the USDA label makes the split easy to see.
You'd need to walk about 34 minutes to burn the 170 calories in three dipped strawberries (113 g).

Chocolate dipped strawberry quick facts
There is no Foundation Foods or SR Legacy entry for a strawberry dipped in chocolate, so the numbers here come from a real store label: HAND DIPPED STRAWBERRIES, Meijer, fdc_id 2637089. It is the one US record whose ingredient list starts with fresh strawberries and ends with a milk chocolate coating, which is exactly the thing sitting in the clamshell box at the front of the produce aisle. Every other candidate in the database is either dried fruit, freeze-dried fruit, a frozen novelty on a stick, or candy with strawberry flavoring.
The label serving is 113 g, about three pieces. One record that looked promising, a Wild Ophelia entry, lists sodium at 61,404 mg per 100 g, an obvious data-entry mistake, so it was left out rather than averaged in.

Verified nutrition data
Numbers on this page come from USDA FoodData Central, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food composition database, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified September 2026. How we verify our data →
Two rows that usually go missing are present here: added sugars, at 15.0 g per serving, and trans fat, at 0 g. Cholesterol is 0 mg, since the coating is a confectionery blend rather than a dairy-heavy couverture. Potassium comes in at 121 mg per 100 g, or 137 mg per serving, 3% of the Daily Value, and that part is the fruit talking, not the chocolate. The Daily Values used across this page are the FDA reference amounts printed on every US Nutrition Facts panel.
US servings, from one berry to a full box
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 43 kcal |
| One dipped strawberry | 38 g | 57 kcal |
| Two dipped strawberries | 76 g | 114 kcal |
| Three dipped strawberries, one label serving | 113 g | 170 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 150 kcal |
Only the 113 g line is a USDA serving. The one-berry, two-berry and one-ounce rows are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, splitting the label serving three ways to get 38 g a piece. That is an average, not a rule. Dipped berries are sold by the box, and a jumbo berry with a thick chocolate foot can outweigh a small one by half again, so weigh a couple the first time if the count matters to you.
A useful anchor: a box of six is 226 g and 340 calories, our own arithmetic from the same 150 per 100 g figure, roughly a light lunch's worth of dessert, and a box of twelve doubles that. Boxed gift assortments are usually built on the same fresh berry, so the per-gram number holds even when the ribbon is fancier.
Frozen, refrigerated, dried and freeze-dried versions
The word "chocolate covered strawberry" covers six different products in the freezer, produce and snack aisles, and they are not close to each other per gram.
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical piece | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh hand dipped, milk chocolate (Meijer) | 150 kcal | 3 pieces (113 g) | 170 kcal |
| Frozen dark chocolate covered halves (Dole) | 171 kcal | 1 pouch (35 g) | 60 kcal |
| Refrigerated dark chocolate covered (Path of Life) | 273 kcal | 3-4 pieces (44 g) | 120 kcal |
| Dried dark chocolate covered (Wegmans) | 439 kcal | 7 pcs (41 g) | 180 kcal |
| Freeze-dried covered (Good & Gather) | 500 kcal | 1/4 cup (30 g) | 150 kcal |
| Chocolate dipped strawberry cream pop (JonnyPops) | 235 kcal | 1 pop (68 g) | 160 kcal |
| Plain strawberries, raw | 32 kcal | 1 cup halves (152 g) | 49 kcal |
The trap is the snack bag. Dried and freeze-dried covered strawberries have had the water pulled out of the fruit, so what is left is mostly chocolate by weight: 439 to 500 calories per 100 g against 150 for the fresh version. A 30 g handful out of a freeze-dried pouch is 150 calories, which is within twenty calories of eating three whole fresh dipped berries that weigh nearly four times as much. Hy-Vee's dried version runs 448 per 100 g and 130 for its 29 g five-piece serving; Wegmans' is 439 and 180 for seven pieces.
Going the other way, the frozen Dole pouch is the smallest chocolate serving of the group at 60 calories, because a 35 g pouch of halves is simply less food than three whole berries.
Saturated fat, not calories, is the row to watch
For a fruit dessert, 170 calories a serving is mild. The number that jumps is saturated fat: 7.2 g in three berries, 36% of the Daily Value in one sitting. That is 89% of the saturated fat in a 1.55 oz milk chocolate bar, from a food most people file mentally under "fruit."
The reason is the coating. Confectionery dipping chocolate is built on palm kernel oil so it snaps at room temperature and does not bloom in a refrigerated case, and palm kernel fat is highly saturated. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans put saturated fat at under 10% of daily calories, which is about 22 g on a 2,000-calorie day, so one box serving takes a third of it.
The sugar split is the other thing worth seeing. A whole strawberry is naturally low in sugar, and 113 g of plain raw berries is 36 calories with 0 g of added sugars, our arithmetic from the USDA raw-strawberry record. Dip those same berries and the serving becomes 170 calories with 15.0 g of added sugars, 30% of the Daily Value. The dip, not the fruit, adds 134 calories. If you want the berries to count toward the fruit group on MyPlate, eat them plain and keep the dipped ones in the dessert column.
How does a chocolate dipped strawberry compare?
| Food | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chocolate dipped strawberries | 150 kcal | 3 pieces, 113 g | 170 kcal |
| Strawberries, raw | 32 kcal | 1 cup halves, 152 g | 49 kcal |
| Milk chocolate bar | 535 kcal | 1 bar, 1.55 oz, 44 g | 235 kcal |
| Milk chocolate coated raisins | 390 kcal | 10 pieces, 10 g | 39 kcal |
Our take: the dipped strawberry is the best-value chocolate on this table, because the berry is 90% water and the chocolate is a thin jacket rather than the whole food. Per 100 g it is the lightest chocolate here by a wide margin, less than a third of a milk chocolate bar. For weight loss, three dipped berries at 170 calories are a smarter end to dinner than a candy bar at 235, and they arrive with 2.0 g of fiber. For a small, frequent treat, chocolate coated raisins win on portion control alone: ten pieces is 39 calories. The one thing not worth buying by weight is the dried covered version, which costs you the water, the volume and the chewing time all at once.

Chocolate dipped strawberry FAQs
How many calories are in one chocolate covered strawberry?
One hand dipped strawberry weighs about 38 g and carries 57 calories, our own arithmetic from the USDA figure of 150 calories per 100 g, because the label is written for three pieces at 113 g. Berries vary in size, so weigh yours if you want the count to be exact.
How many calories in 3 chocolate dipped strawberries?
Three hand dipped strawberries weigh 113 g and come to 170 calories, the serving printed on the USDA record. That same serving carries 25.0 g of carbohydrate, 22.0 g of total sugars and 7.2 g of saturated fat, which is 36% of the Daily Value on a 2,000-calorie diet.
How much sugar is in a chocolate dipped strawberry?
One 38 g dipped strawberry holds about 7.4 g of total sugars, of which 5.1 g are added sugars from the coating; both are our arithmetic from the 100 g label. Three pieces reach 22.0 g of total sugars and 15.0 g of added sugars, 30% of the Daily Value.
How many carbs are in chocolate covered strawberries?
Three hand dipped strawberries hold 25.0 g of carbohydrate, 9% of the Daily Value, and 2.0 g of that is fiber. Per 100 g the count is 22.12 g. Dried covered strawberries are far denser: the Wegmans record runs 70.73 g of carbohydrate per 100 g.
Dark or milk chocolate covered strawberries: which has fewer calories?
Milk chocolate dipped fresh berries run 150 calories per 100 g, while Dole's frozen dark chocolate covered halves run 171 and Path of Life's refrigerated dark version 273. Dark chocolate is not automatically lighter here; how thick the coating is and how much water is left in the fruit matter more.
Are chocolate covered strawberries healthy?
A 113 g serving brings 2.0 g of fiber and 137 mg of potassium from the fruit, plus 15.0 g of added sugars and 7.2 g of saturated fat from the coating. Treat them as a dessert that happens to contain fruit, and count berries toward your fruit servings when they are plain.
Do chocolate covered strawberries have protein?
Barely: 2.0 g in a 113 g serving, 4% of the Daily Value, and about 0.7 g in a single berry. Protein per 100 g is 1.77 g. Freeze-dried covered strawberries are the highest USDA record at 6.67 g per 100 g, but that is concentration, not a protein food.
How many calories in Dole chocolate covered strawberry halves?
One 35 g pouch of Dole Dark Chocolate Covered Real Strawberry Halves is 60 calories, or 171 per 100 g. The halves are frozen rather than fresh, so a pouch weighs less than three hand dipped berries and lands 110 calories below the 170 in a 113 g serving.
