Ingredients
1 (1-oz) bag freeze-dried strawberries
4 cups rice or corn Chex cereal
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Place freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor and blend until they become a fine powder. If desired, use pre-packaged strawberry powder instead.
2. Combine the strawberry powder and powdered sugar in a small bowl until evenly mixed. Pour mixture into a 1-gallon freezer bag and seal.
3. Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Do not overheat.
4. Gently fold the melted chocolate with the cereal in a large bowl until evenly coated without crushing the cereal.
5. Transfer coated cereal into the bag with strawberry sugar mixture. Seal and gently shake until all pieces are coated.
6. Spread the mix on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
7. Store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Substitute strawberry powder with raspberry for a tangy twist. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months for longer storage. Great as a party snack, movie night treat, or edible gift.
