No-Bake Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Snack Mix
Crispy cereal clusters coated in melted semisweet chocolate and sweet strawberry jam capture the exact flavor of a chocolate-covered strawberry. This no-bake treat tosses rice and chocolate cereals with ground almonds for a deeply nutty crunch, finished with a generous drizzle of white chocolate. It's an incredibly easy snack to pack up for road trips, lunchboxes, or weekend movie nights. You'll just melt, toss, and let it set for a sweet bite that travels anywhere.
Equipment
- Microwave
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex
- 2 cups Chocolate Chex
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup seedless strawberry jam
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 2 cups ground almonds
- 1 cup white baking chips Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- 1Combine the rice and chocolate cereals in a large bowl. Melt the semisweet chocolate chips, strawberry jam, and butter in the microwave, stirring until completely smooth.
- 2Stir the almond extract into the melted chocolate mixture. Pour the wet mixture over the cereals and toss well to coat. Add the ground almonds and toss again.
- 3Immediately spread the coated cereal mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper. Moving quickly here prevents the chocolate from setting in the bowl.
- 4Melt the white baking chips in the microwave and stir until smooth, then drizzle over the cereal. Add sprinkles on top if using. Let the mixture sit undisturbed until the chocolate sets completely.
- 5Break the hardened snack mix into bite-sized clusters.
Notes
- Storage: Keep the broken clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Portioning: A standard serving size for this rich snack mix is about 3/4 cup.
- Tip: Microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, so the chocolate doesn't seize or burn.
