Steps:
- Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
- Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.
- Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Paraffin was originally used instead of shortening. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on a sheet of wax paper. White chocolate may be drizzled over the milk chocolate for a fancier look. They are perfect for weddings when decorated with frosting bow ties, bells, butterflies, roses, etc.

Steps:
- Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until very finely ground and powdered in texture. Alternatively, place in a resealable bag and crush with your hands or a rolling pin until very finely and evenly ground and powdered in texture. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in the confectioners' sugar until combined. Set aside.
- Pour the crisp rice cereal squares and honey whole-grain oat cereal into a large bowl. Put the chopped white chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 15-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until just melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture, then gently toss with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Pour the strawberry-sugar mixture over the chocolate-coated cereal, then toss again until every piece is nicely coated and pink. Stir in the candy-coated chocolate and sprinkles. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh strawberries. Fresh strawberries will have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Choose high-quality chocolate. The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the taste of your snack mix. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao. You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate, depending on your preference.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. When you are baking the strawberries, be sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Let the strawberries cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. If the strawberries are still warm, the chocolate will not stick to them properly.
- Be patient when dipping the strawberries in chocolate. It takes a little time to dip each strawberry, but it is worth it for the delicious results.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-covered strawberry snack mix is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
