Ingredients
12 cups (12-ounce box) unsweetened rice cereal, such as Chex™️ Cereal
1 (9-ounce) can jumbo salted peanuts
1/2 cup Peanut Butter & Co Smooth Operator
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp. strawberry jam
3 cups freeze-dried strawberries
*You may also use their corn or wheat cereal varieties
Directions
Preheat oven to 300°F. Place cereal and peanuts in a large heatproof bowl and line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
Combine Peanut Butter & Co Smooth Operator, butter, sugar, honey, and jam in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to melt butter and peanut butter; pour hot mixture over cereal and toss to coat. Divide cereal among baking sheets, spreading it out in a single layer.
Bake cereal mixture 15 minutes; use a spatula to toss cereal on hot pan. Return mixture to oven and bake until syrup is no longer wet and cereal mixture is golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Let cool completely on wire racks. Toss strawberries into cereal mixture. Store in airtight containers up to 3 days.
