  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 ounces cherry flavored gelatin powder

Instructions

  • Place rice cereal in a large heat-proof mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and softened cream cheese.
  • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely smooth.
  • Whisk the dry cherry gelatin powder into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined and pink.
  • Pour the cherry mixture over the cereal and gently fold with a spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
  • In a large gallon-sized plastic bag, combine the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs.
  • Transfer the coated cereal into the bag, seal, and shake vigorously until the cereal is fully dusted.
  • Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and mix in the chopped dried cherries.
  • Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes until the coating has set.
