Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal Use gluten-free if needed
- 15 oz Golden Oreos (crushed) Can substitute with any favorite cookie
- 1 cup White chocolate chips Sugar-free option available
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil Butter can be used for a richer flavor
- 1 cup Freeze-dried strawberries Avoid fresh strawberries as they won't work
- 1 cup Strawberry cake mix Can substitute with vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup Powdered sugar Reduce for a less sugary option
Optional add-ins
- Mini marshmallows Optional
- Chopped dried strawberries Optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by crushing the Golden Oreos in a large bowl until they are in small pieces.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Gently stir to coat all the cereal evenly.
- Add the crushed Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Sprinkle the strawberry cake mix and powdered sugar over the mixture and stir until everything is coated evenly.
- Add any optional ingredients like mini marshmallows or chopped dried strawberries at this stage.
- Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it cool for about 30 minutes.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use butter instead of coconut oil. To lower sweetness, reduce the amount of powdered sugar. Don't skip freeze-dried strawberries; they add perfect flavor and crunch. This recipe can also be modified with different cake mix flavors.
