Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup strawberry puree
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon strawberry extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 9 cups of Rice Chex cereal, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of strawberry puree, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of strawberry extract.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the 9 cups of Rice Chex cereal. Set aside while you prepare the chocolate mixture.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1 cup of white chocolate chips and the 1 tablespoon of strawberry extract. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. If needed, continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Once the white chocolate is melted, add the 1/2 cup of strawberry puree to the bowl. Stir well to combine the puree with the melted chocolate until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
- Pour the melted strawberry chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal in the large mixing bowl. Gently fold the cereal and chocolate together using a spatula or wooden spoon, making sure to coat the cereal evenly.
- Once the cereal is well coated, sprinkle the 1/2 cup of powdered sugar over the mixture. Carefully fold the powdered sugar into the cereal until it is evenly distributed and the cereal is coated with a light dusting of sugar.
- To ensure even coating, you may want to transfer the mixture to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake gently until all the pieces are coated.
- After mixing, spread the Strawberry Puppy Chow Snack Mix onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to let the chocolate set.
- Once set, transfer the mix to a serving bowl or store it in an airtight container. Enjoy your delicious Strawberry Puppy Chow Snack Mix!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality strawberry puree for the most intense flavor.
- Melt white chocolate slowly to prevent burning - short 15-second microwave intervals are key.
- For extra even coating, use a large sealed plastic bag to mix powdered sugar.
- Let the mix cool completely to allow chocolate to set and prevent clumping.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to 5 days.
- For a fun variation, try adding freeze-dried strawberry pieces for extra texture and flavor.
- Make sure all utensils and bowls are completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing.
