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)

Directions

Step 1

Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Pour the freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor or blender and process until they turn into a fine powder. Set the powder aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir the vanilla extract into the saucepan mixture and mix well.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Sprinkle the powdered freeze-dried strawberries and powdered sugar into the cereal mixture, a little at a time, while folding to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Let the coated cereal mixture cool completely on parchment paper, spreading it out into an even layer to avoid clumps.

Step 8

Once fully cooled, transfer the Strawberry Vanilla Chex into an airtight container and enjoy!
