Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips or white chocolate bark
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberry powder

Instructions

  1. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until smooth and creamy.
  2. Coat Cereal: Pour the melted white chocolate over the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Gently stir with a spatula to coat all the cereal pieces evenly without crushing them.
  3. Add Strawberry Powder: Sprinkle the freeze-dried strawberry powder over the coated cereal and toss gently until the cereal pieces are lightly dusted with the powder, giving a pleasant strawberry flavor.
  4. Cool and Set: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool and set completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Serve and Store: Once set, break apart any clusters and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute strawberry powder with freeze-dried raspberry powder for a different fruity flavor.
  • Use good quality white chocolate to ensure smooth melting and rich flavor.
  • If white chocolate is too thick when melted, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to help thin it out for easier coating.
  • Ensure the cereal is completely dry before coating to avoid clumping.
