Chocolate-covered strawberries may be a classic, but for me, they could use a bit of work. They’re usually pretty hard to eat with the chocolate breaking off of the strawberry and I always wished that the ratio and texture were a bit more balanced.

These chocolate strawberry crunch bites are a chocolate-covered strawberry reimagined! They’re the perfect ratio of chocolate to strawberry, they’re easy to make, and they have a perfect little extra crunch. So good.
