Strawberry Muddy Buddies
Bursting with flavor, these Strawberry Muddy Buddies are an easy, sweet Chex mix. This recipe combines the crunch of Chex cereal tossed in melted chocolate then all coated in a sweet freeze-dried strawberries and powdered sugar mixture.

- 6 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ounce freeze-dried strawberries
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and butter and heat in 15-second increments, stirring in between each. Be very careful not to overheat or the chocolate will seize and thicken. You should only have to heat it 3 or 4 times.

Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and gently stir to coat completely.

Sprinkle the strawberry powdered sugar over the coated cereal in batches, stirring very carefully between each addition.
