Pink Powder Puff Crunch

This will be my first actual post. I decided to make Pink Powder Puff Crunch for my night class.

Ingredients
9cups Rice Chex® or Corn Chex® cereal
1 1/2cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/3cup butter
1teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2cups powdered sugar
1box (8-serving size) strawberry-flavored gelatin


Cooking Gluten Free?
Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
Did You Know?
The bowl with the melted chocolate chips will be hot as it comes from the microwave, so handle it with pot holders.
Preparation Directions
1.Measure cereal into large bowl.
2.In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and butter uncovered on High 1 minute. Stir; microwave 15 to 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.
3.In 2-gallon large food-storage plastic bag, mix powdered sugar and gelatin. Add cereal mixture. Seal bag and shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper; cool about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.

This was my outcome when I was all finished.  
The recipe came out really good, the Chex had a strawberry hint from the gelatin. 

Next time I make this, I will most likely use two cups of powdered sugar and 1 1/2 boxed of gelatin to make them lighter and pinker. 
My class was pleasantly surprised with a valentines day treat.
