Ingredients
- 23 Golden Oreo cookies
- 1 (3 oz) packet of strawberry-flavored gelatin
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Crush the Cookies: Place the Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you get coarse crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and gently crush them using a rolling pin.
- Mix with Gelatin: Transfer the crushed cookie crumbs into a mixing bowl and thoroughly mix in the packet of strawberry-flavored gelatin powder until evenly combined.
- Add Butter: Pour in the melted unsalted butter and stir well to coat the crumbs uniformly, ensuring all ingredients bind together.
- Bake: Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes to toast the crumbs and enhance flavor.
- Cool & Crumble: Remove from the oven and allow the mixture to cool completely on the baking sheet. If the mixture forms a solid layer, break it apart with a spatula or your hands into loose crumbs before storing or using as a topping.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- For smaller pieces, pulse the cookies more thoroughly, but avoid turning crumbs into powder.
- Store the strawberry crunch in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunchiness.
- This crunch is excellent as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or desserts.
- If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, you can add a teaspoon of strawberry extract to the melted butter before mixing.
