Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal and the dried strawberries, setting aside for later use.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and strawberry gelatin mix to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Pour the hot strawberry mixture over the Chex and dried strawberries, gently tossing to coat evenly.

Step 7

Spread the coated Chex mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even coating.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 10

While the Chex mixture is cooling, wash the fresh strawberries and cut them into quarters.

Step 11

Once cooled, transfer the mixture back into the large mixing bowl.

Step 12

Add the powdered sugar, using a spoon or spatula to fold it in until the cereal is lightly coated.

Step 13

Finally, gently incorporate the fresh strawberries into the cereal mix.

Step 14

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for freshness.
