Strawberry Puppy Chow Ingredients
This pink puppy chow is so easy to make! You just need these 5 ingredients:
- sweet freeze-dried strawberries
- white chocolate chips
- coconut oil
- rice Chex cereal
- powdered sugar
Tips
Storage: Store these strawberry muddy buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Swap out the melted chocolate. Instead of using melted white chocolate, try using semi-sweet or dark chocolate for a different taste. The white colors of the white chocolate will make the coated cereal pieces more vibrant, but if you prefer a richer chocolate taste, swap it out!
Making the freeze-dried strawberry powder. It is very important to keep pulsing the freeze-dried strawberries in the food processor until it becomes a fine powder. If you have some chunks of strawberry, it won't stick as well to the cereal.
