Base Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
Chocolate Layer
- 4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (from total 1 1⁄2 cups)
Vanilla Layer
- 4 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (from total 1 1⁄2 cups)
Strawberry Layer
- 4 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (from total 1 1⁄2 cups)
Instructions
- Divide the Cereal: Separate the 3 cups of Rice Chex cereal evenly into three large bowls, preparing for each flavor layer.
- Prepare Chocolate Layer: Melt 4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Pour this mixture over the first portion of cereal, stir well to coat. Transfer to a zip-top bag with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, shake thoroughly to coat, then set aside.
- Prepare Vanilla Layer: Melt 4 oz white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in the microwave until smooth. Pour over the second bowl of cereal and mix to coat evenly. Place into a separate zip-top bag with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, shake well, and set aside.
- Prepare Strawberry Layer: Melt 4 oz white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in the microwave until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder thoroughly. Pour this mixture over the last bowl of cereal and coat evenly. Toss the coated cereal in a zip-top bag with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, shake well, and set aside to cool.
- Combine and Serve: After all three flavored batches have cooled and set, combine them gently into one large serving bowl. Mix lightly to blend the Neapolitan colors and flavors. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking.
Notes
- Use short microwave bursts to prevent burning chocolate.
- Ensure cereal is completely coated with chocolate mixture for best flavor distribution.
- Let the coated cereal cool properly before combining to avoid melting the powdered sugar coating.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
- For a stronger strawberry flavor, adjust the strawberry gelatin powder to taste.
