Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal (certified soy-free)
- 1.5 cups Freeze-dried strawberries
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (soy-free)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 quarter cup Water
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Butter (soy-free)
Instructions
Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Pour the freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor or blender and process until they turn into a fine powder. Set the powder aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and soy-free butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fully melted and begins to bubble gently. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Stir the vanilla extract into the saucepan mixture and mix well.
Pour the liquid mixture over the Rice Chex cereal in the mixing bowl. Gently fold the cereal with a spatula, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the powdered freeze-dried strawberries and powdered sugar into the cereal mixture, a little at a time, while folding to coat everything evenly.
Let the coated cereal mixture cool completely on parchment paper, spreading it out into an even layer to avoid clumps.
Once fully cooled, transfer the Strawberry Vanilla Chex into an airtight container and enjoy!
