Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Snack Mix

  Snacks

I love chocolate-covered strawberries, but they're one of those treats you want to make only on special occasions. With a little experimenting, I've captured the same flavor in a snack that I can take anywhere. Everyone is amazed when I pull these out at picnics or tailgates, or on car trips.
