Strawberry Snack Mix (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup white chocolate chips
02 -
1/3 cup powdered sugar
03 -
1 ounce pack of freeze-dried strawberries
04 -
4 cups corn or rice Chex cereal
# Instructions:
01 -
Crush the strawberries in a food processor until they're a fine powder. If you're short on time, grab some pre-made strawberry powder. Make sure the texture is smooth and even.
02 -
Stir the powdered sugar and strawberry dust together in a bowl till they blend completely. Scoop this mix into a gallon-sized freezer bag, seal it up tight, and set it aside.
03 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. Heat in short 30-second bursts and stir in between each one to keep the chocolate from burning. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal in a large bowl and toss until every piece is nicely coated.
04 -
Pour the chocolate-covered cereal into your freezer bag with the sugar-strawberry mix. Reseal the bag and gently shake it until the cereal is fully covered. Be careful not to crush it!
05 -
Spread the cereal mix evenly on a baking sheet. Stick it in the fridge for about 15 minutes to set the coating. Once chilled, put it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
# Notes:
01 -
Check that your cereal is fresh and crunchy so it doesn’t turn soft.
02 -
If coating the cereal, do it in smaller amounts to avoid big lumps.
03 -
Melt white chocolate with care—short bursts in the microwave help avoid burning it.
