Ingredients
6 cups Rice Chex cereal (divided into 3 bowls, 2 cups each)
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin powder or 1 cup strawberry-flavored candy melts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar (divided)
Food coloring (optional, for enhanced color)
Instructions
1. Divide 6 cups of Rice Chex cereal evenly into 3 large mixing bowls (2 cups each).
2. In microwave-safe bowls, separately melt 1 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips, and either 1 cup strawberry candy melts or white chocolate mixed with 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin powder.
3. To the white chocolate, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. To the strawberry mixture, add pink food coloring if desired. Leave the chocolate as is.
4. Pour each melted chocolate mixture over a separate cereal bowl and gently fold using a rubber spatula to coat thoroughly.
5. Place each coated cereal flavor into its own large zip-top bag. Add approximately 2/3 cup powdered sugar per bag. Seal and shake well to coat.
6. Spread coated cereal on parchment paper and let set for 15–20 minutes.
7. Once set, mix all flavors together in a large serving bowl and enjoy!
Notes
Use flavored candy melts for stronger strawberry and vanilla colors without needing food coloring.
Let each batch cool fully before combining to avoid sticking or melting.
This mix also freezes well—just store in airtight bags for up to a month.
