  3. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the tops of the filled strawberries.
Chill and Serve

  2. Serve chilled for delightful bites!

Notes

These strawberries are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze the filling separately and use with fresh strawberries later.
