Pick over the rest, discarding any that are moldy or too soft; wash remainder briefly and dry gently but thoroughly. Hull, trim, and slice thinly; you should end up with about 3 cups. Stir together the yogurt and chocolate chips; set aside. Drop a few strawberry slices into the bottom of each parfait glass. Cover with a thin layer of crumbs, leveling the surface of the crumbs with a spoon. Cover crumbs with a layer of yogurt mixture. Don't be too generous with any one ingredient or you won't have enough to go around. Repeat the strawberries-crumbs-yogurt mixture layering until the glasses are filled, ending with a layer of yogurt. As you fill up the glasses, try to place some of the strawberry slices against the outside of the glass, and push the slices part way into the previous layer (of yogurt) as you go along. Garnish each parfait with one of the reserved strawberries. Prepare this dessert just before serving and serve immediately.
