Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Prep the strawberries: Wash and hull 1 cup of fresh strawberries, slice them, and let them sit on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

- Serve: Enjoy in a bowl or bag and watch everyone dive in!
Notes
Be gentle when folding in the strawberries to maintain their integrity and avoid overmixing the cereal with chocolate.
