Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup Freeze-dried apples
- 1/4 cup Salted butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup salted peanuts or other toppings of your choice
- 1.5 cup White chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the apples: Place the freeze-dried apple slices in a bag and crush them slightly so they are roughly the same size as the cereal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Stir the cinnamon (or apple pie spice) into the melted chocolate.
- Place the Rice Chex cereal and the crushed freeze-dried apples in a very large bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over them. Gently fold with a spatula until evenly coated.
- Transfer the coated mixture into a large Ziploc bag containing the powdered sugar. Seal tightly and shake vigorously until the cereal is coated in white.
- Spread on a baking sheet to cool and set before serving.
