This Easy Strawberry Shortcake Puppy Chow combines the sweet flavors of strawberry shortcake with the crispy texture of puppy chow, making it the perfect no-bake snack that comes together in just 15 minutes.

  • Total Time: 15-30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 cups

Ingredients

1 ounce package freeze-dried strawberries (or dried strawberry powder)

4 cups rice or corn Chex mix cereal

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/3 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, chop the freeze-dried strawberries until they turn into a fine powder. Alternatively, use pre-packaged dried strawberry powder.
  2. In a bowl, combine the strawberry powder with powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture is uniform in color. Once mixed, pour it into a 1-gallon freezer bag and seal it tightly. Set it aside for later use.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips by heating them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning. Once melted, fold it into a large bowl with the cereal, gently coating each piece without crushing it.
  4. Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into the prepared freezer bag with the strawberry-sugar powder. Seal the bag and gently toss it to coat the cereal evenly.
  5. Spread the coated cereal mix onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once set, store in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Avoid Refrigeration: Refrigeration can cause the coating to lose its crispiness and become sticky.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding mini marshmallows or nuts to the mix.
  • If you want a more colorful snack, add sprinkles or candy decorations to the strawberry-sugar coating.
  • For different flavors, substitute white chocolate with vanilla candy melts or white almond bark.
