Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Chex Treats

If you didn't know, I love any kind of cereal treat and I thought it would be fun to make a Valentine's inspired one. Chocolate-covered strawberries scream Valentine's Day and these Chex treats are really something special.

These would be perfect for kids and adults alike because they're basically a fancy Rice Krispies treat. They're also gluten free, which makes them great for a big crowd. You should definitely try them ASAP!
