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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal and the freeze-dried strawberries. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Once the butter is fully melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the low-sodium strawberry jam until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the butter mixture over the cereal and strawberries, tossing gently with a spatula to ensure the mixture evenly coats the cereal.
Step 5
Gradually sprinkle in the powdered sugar, folding gently to avoid crushing the cereal, until everything is evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy as a snack or breakfast option!
