Homemade Strawberry Crunch (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
23 Golden Oreo cookies
02 -
1 (3 oz) Strawberry Jell-O
03 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
02 -
Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until crumbled. Ensure crumbs are not too fine and vary slightly in size. Alternatively, place cookies in a zip lock bag, seal, and crush with a rolling pin.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and strawberry Jell-O powder. Mix thoroughly.
04 -
Pour melted butter into the crumb mixture and mix until evenly coated.
05 -
Spread the crumb mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 8 minutes.
06 -
Remove from the oven and let cool. If a solid layer has formed, crumble it with your hands or use a zip lock bag and a rolling pin to break it into pieces.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not overpulse the Oreos; crumbs should be varied in size for proper texture.
02 -
Ensure crumbs are fully coated with butter for the best flavor.
03 -
For additional strawberry flavor, add up to ½ teaspoon of strawberry extract.
