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 strawberries in a food processor and chop until they become a fine powder. Alternatively, use pre-packaged dried strawberry powder.
2. Combine strawberry powder and powdered sugar in a bowl and mix until fully blended. Pour mixture into a 1-gallon freezer bag and seal.
3. Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted. Do not overheat.
4. Fold melted chocolate together with cereal in a large bowl until coated. Be gentle to avoid crushing the cereal.
5. Transfer the coated cereal to the bag with the strawberry-sugar mix and gently toss to coat each piece.
6. Spread the mix on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
7. Store in an airtight container and enjoy.
