Easy Strawberry Shortcake Puppy Chow: A No-Bake Treat That's Berry Delicious! - Sunshine Boxes

Looking for a fun, easy, and cheap treat to whip up this week? Look no further than this Easy Strawberry Shortcake Puppy Chow! It's the perfect no-bake recipe for satisfying your sweet tooth, and it's so simple, even the kids can help.

This recipe takes the classic puppy chow (or muddy buddies, as some call it!) and gives it a fruity twist. With the sweet and tangy flavor of strawberry, it's like enjoying strawberry shortcake in this easy puppy chow with every bite!

Here's what you'll need:

  • 5 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 Big Box Strawberry Jello Mix
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed (optional)

Let's get started:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal and gently toss to coat the cereal evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the strawberry jello mix and powdered sugar.
  5. Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag, then add the jello mix and powdered sugar mixture. Seal the bag and shake until the cereal is fully coated.
  6. Spread the coated cereal on a baking sheet to cool and harden. For an extra strawberry kick, sprinkle the crushed freeze-dried strawberries on top of your easy strawberry shortcake puppy chow.

Once cooled, store in an airtight container and enjoy!
