Craving a sweet, fruity snack that’s super simple to make? This Easy Strawberry Shortcake Puppy Chow is the perfect crunchy treat! With just a few ingredients and minimal prep time, you’ll have a deliciously addictive snack that’s great for parties, lunchboxes, or a fun kitchen project.


Ingredients

– 1 ounce package freeze-dried strawberries (or dried strawberry powder)
– 4 cups rice or corn Chex mix cereal
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 1/3 cup icing sugar


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Strawberry Powder
Place strawberries in a food processor and chop them until they become a fine powder. Alternatively, you can use pre-packaged dried strawberry powder to save time. Ensure the powder is evenly processed for a smooth mix.

Step 2: Mix Strawberry Powder with Sugar
In a bowl, combine the strawberry powder with powdered sugar and mix until the blend is uniform in color. Once fully combined, pour the mixture into a 1-gallon freezer bag and seal it securely. Set aside for later use.

Step 3: Melt and Coat Cereal with White Chocolate
Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave, using 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval to prevent overheating. Once fully melted, fold the chocolate into a large bowl with cereal, taking care to coat the cereal without crushing it. This step ensures each cereal piece is covered in chocolate.

Step 4: Toss Cereal with Strawberry-Sugar Mix
Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into the prepared bag with the strawberry-sugar powder. Seal the bag and gently toss it to ensure each cereal piece is evenly coated with the strawberry-sugar mixture. Handle with care to avoid crushing the cereal.

 

Step 5: Set and Store the Cereal Mix
Lay the coated cereal mix out on a baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once set, store the mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Enjoy as a sweet and crunchy treat!
