1 cup (175 g) white chocolate chips

60 g unsalted butter

120 g cherry gelatin powder
05 -
60 g powdered sugar

1 cup (130 g) dried cherries, chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
02 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
03 -
Stir cherry gelatin powder into the melted chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined.
04 -
Pour the cherry-chocolate mixture over the cereal. Gently fold with a spatula or spoon until every piece is evenly coated.
05 -
Combine powdered sugar and instant cheesecake pudding mix in a large zip-top bag. Add the coated cereal, seal the bag, and shake vigorously until the cereal is evenly covered.
06 -
Spread the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely.
07 -
Once the mixture is cool, incorporate chopped dried cherries and toss gently to distribute. Serve as desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the chocolate mixture is still warm and fluid before pouring over the cereal for even coating.
02 -
Cooling the coated cereal on parchment ensures crispness and prevents clumping.
