Crush or grind your freeze dried strawberries into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a small blender (I use a NutriBullet).
In a large bowl with a tight fitting lid, add the Rice Chex cereal and set aside.
In a small microwaveable bowl, add the dairy free white chocolate chips, the Sunbutter, the dairy free butter, and the coconut oil.
Microwave this for about 30 to 45 seconds or until the white chocolate and dairy free butter is melted. It won't take very long to melt this together, just 30 seconds worked for me. Stir everything together until smooth.
Add the the strawberry powder to the white chocolate mixture and stir again until smooth.
Pour the white chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and stir until all the cereal is coated thoroughly. Make sure to try not to crush too much of the cereal as you stir.
Add the powdered sugar to the coated cereal in the bowl and cover with the tight fitting lid, and shake it around until the cereal is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
Store at room temperature in a an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 3 to 4 days.
