Strawberry Nut Crunch with Special K Crust


Another package came last week via UPS.  It was from Foodbuzz and Kellogs.  Inside I found 2 boxes of Special K Red Berries.  Now, what recipe can I make using Special K Red Berries?  Most people already know that cereal can be made into some really great tasting muffins but I wanted to do something different.  So... I made a crust using Special K Red Berries for my Strawberry Nut Crunch.  Here is the recipe:

2 1/2 cups Special K Red Berries
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 can sweetened condensed milk
6 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (save about 1 Tbsp. for garnish)
1 pkg frozen strawberry slices, thawed (save 8-10 for garnish)
1 carton (8 oz.) whipped topping

Put the Special K Red Berries into a gallon plastic bag.  Close bag.  Roll a rolling pin over the cereal to crush.  Pour into a bowl and add melted butter.  Mix and press into pie pan.  In a large bowl mix milk and lemon juice.  Fold in whipped topping.  Add strawberries and nuts.  Pour into crust.  Garnish with strawberries and nuts.  Refrigerate. 

The pie itself is delicious and I normally make it with crushed vanilla wafers but using the Special K Red Berries turned out to be a great change.  Not too sweet and just a little crunch.
