Ingredients
Method
- Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor and pulse until they become a fine powder.
- In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry powder and powdered sugar, stirring until the color is completely uniform.
- Pour the strawberry-sugar mixture into a 1-gallon freezer bag and seal; set aside.
- Add the white chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl, then pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal.
- Gently fold the cereal with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated in the white chocolate.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal to the prepared freezer bag, seal, and gently shake and turn the bag until all cereal pieces are evenly coated with the strawberry-sugar mixture.
- Spread the coated cereal in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Break apart any large clusters, then transfer the puppy chow to an airtight container for storage at room temperature.
Notes
- Rice Chex or Corn Chex work best; Crispix can be substituted.
- You can substitute other freeze-dried berries for the strawberries.
- Do not refrigerate for storage, as the coating can become sticky; store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Handle gently while tossing in the bag to avoid breaking the cereal pieces.
- Work in smaller batches if needed to ensure even coating of the cereal.
