Cost: $8 - $12
Ingredients
- 10 cups about 1.2 lbs of rice cereal squares (such as Chex)
- 1 ½ cups 0.75 lbs of white chocolate chips
- ½ cup 0.25 lbs of vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup 0.5 lbs of powdered sugar
- 1 cup 0.25 lbs of crushed freeze-dried strawberries
- ¼ cup 0.12 lbs of unsalted butter
- **½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and butter in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Once melted, mix in the vanilla extract.
- Coat the Cereal: Place the rice cereal squares in a large mixing bowl and pour the melted white chocolate mixture over them. Gently stir until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla cake mix, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
- Toss to Coat: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or a container with a tight lid. Add the powdered sugar mixture, seal the bag, and shake well until the cereal is fully coated.
- Cool and Serve: Spread the coated cereal on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it sit until completely dry before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
