Instructions
-
Prepare the Cereal: Begin by measuring out 9 cups of your favorite Chex cereal and placing it into a large mixing bowl. Set this aside for later.
-
Melt the Chocolate: In a small microwavable bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and margarine. Microwave the mixture uncovered on high for 1 minute. Stir well. If the mixture isn’t smooth yet, microwave for an additional 30 seconds and stir again until the chocolate and margarine are fully melted and smooth.
-
Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and margarine mixture. This will add a wonderful aroma and flavor to your treat.
-
Coat the Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal in the large bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the delicious mixture.
-
Mix the Coating: In a large plastic food-storage bag, combine the powdered sugar and strawberry-flavored gelatin. Seal the bag and shake it to mix the two ingredients evenly.
-
Coat with Sugar Mix: Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the plastic bag with the powdered sugar and gelatin mixture. Seal the bag again and shake it vigorously until the cereal is well-coated with the pink, sugary goodness.
-
Cool and Store: Spread the coated cereal on waxed paper to cool. Once completely cooled, store the Pink Powder Puff Chex Crunch in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy.
