Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 ounce package freeze-dried strawberries Choose a clean packet without added sugar or oil.
  • 4 cups Rice or corn Chex mix cereal For gluten-free needs, use certified gluten-free Chex or puffed rice cereal.

  4. Chop the freeze-dried strawberries into smaller pieces and add them to the mixture.
  5. Sprinkle the icing sugar over the mixture and gently toss until everything is well-coated.
