Time 25m

Yield 16 to 18 servings (about 10 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 1.2-ounce bag freeze-dried strawberries (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
5 cups crisp rice cereal squares, such as Rice Chex
4 cups honey whole-grain oat cereal, such as Honey Nut Cheerios
Three 4-ounce bars white chocolate, chopped
1 cup pink candy-coated chocolates, such as pink M&M's
1/4 cup red and white sprinkles, such as Jumbo Hearts Sprinkles and Jimmies

Steps:

  • Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until very finely ground and powdered in texture. Alternatively, place in a resealable bag and crush with your hands or a rolling pin until very finely and evenly ground and powdered in texture. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in the confectioners' sugar until combined. Set aside.
  • Pour the crisp rice cereal squares and honey whole-grain oat cereal into a large bowl. Put the chopped white chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 15-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until just melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture, then gently toss with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Pour the strawberry-sugar mixture over the chocolate-coated cereal, then toss again until every piece is nicely coated and pink. Stir in the candy-coated chocolate and sprinkles. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
