Ingredients
2 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 cups Rice Chex cereal
0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
0.5 cup white chocolate chips
0.5 cup strawberry candy melts or white chocolate with 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder
1.5 teaspoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Set out 3 large mixing bowls and 3 gallon-sized zip-top bags. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for cooling.
2. Split 6 cups of Rice Chex cereal evenly into 3 bowls (2 cups in each). This will create your strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate bases.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 0.5 teaspoon oil in 30-second intervals until smooth. Pour over one bowl of cereal and stir until evenly coated. Transfer to a zip-top bag, add 0.5 cup powdered sugar, seal, and shake until coated. Spread onto parchment to cool.
4. Melt 0.5 cup white chocolate chips with 0.5 teaspoon oil. Stir in 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour over the second bowl of cereal, coat evenly, then shake with 0.5 cup powdered sugar. Spread to cool.
5. Melt 0.5 cup strawberry candy melts (or white chocolate with 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder) and 0.5 teaspoon oil. Mix into the last bowl of cereal. Shake with 0.5 cup powdered sugar and spread to cool.
6. Once all flavors have cooled and set, mix them together in a large serving bowl. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
• Use parchment paper to avoid sticking when cooling the mix.
• Shake the zip-top bags well to coat evenly with powdered sugar.
• Store in a cool area to prevent chocolate from melting.
