Instructions

Prepare the Cereal: In a large mixing bowl, add 5 cups of Rice Chex cereal. Set aside.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract once melted.
Coat the Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal, gently tossing to coat evenly.
Add the Jello and Sugar: In a separate bowl, mix together the strawberry jello mix and powdered sugar.
Combine in a Bag: Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the jello mix and powdered sugar mixture, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is fully coated.
Cool the Coating: Spread the coated cereal on a baking sheet to cool and harden.
Add Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Once the mix has cooled, sprinkle the crushed freeze-dried strawberries on top for extra flavor and texture.
Serve: Store in an airtight container for the freshest taste. Enjoy!

Notes

For a stronger strawberry flavor, add more freeze-dried strawberries to the mix.
The puppy chow can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
