Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup Freeze-dried strawberries
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium strawberry jam
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal and the freeze-dried strawberries. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter is fully melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the low-sodium strawberry jam until smooth.
Pour the butter mixture over the cereal and strawberries, tossing gently with a spatula to ensure the mixture evenly coats the cereal.
Gradually sprinkle in the powdered sugar, folding gently to avoid crushing the cereal, until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy as a snack or breakfast option!
