Mommeeeeeeee!

It's a salad with lots of different fruits, don't remember what kind but I think kiwi was part of it, all cut into little uniform cubes, very small, and it's topped with a sweet crunch and then strawberry sauce. I think the crunch might be made with crushed rice krispies, brown sugar, possibly margarine and I don't know if there is anything else. I don't know how the strawberry sauce is made but definitely with real actual strawberries, since it has little seeds in it. If you know how to make this, pleeeeeeease post a clear recipe! TIA Tongue Out

Searched a little more and found the recipe. Here it is for all those interested.
I make a fruit salad sometimes that's topped with a sort of crunch as well as strawberry sauce. That recipe is, Strawberries (bag, defrosted) 1 pkg vanilla sugar, 2 TBSP confectionery sugar, 1/3 a cup of orange juice. Mix. Hope this is helpful!
Thanks Mrs. K!

Hashgacha Pratis that I had a cookbook open to this page today (for something unrelated) so I remembered seeing this recipe Smile

It's from an 8th grade yearbook of a certain day school, so it might not be 100% accurate. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but you might be able to adapt it.

Fruit Crunch
2 11 ounce cans mandarin oranges
1 can pineapple chunks
1 bag frozen strawberries
3 TBSP confectioner's sugar
2 TBSP orange juice
1 C rice krispies
1/2 C toasted walnuts
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 stick margarine

Layer the first 2 ingredients in 5 ounce clear cups. Grind the next 3 ingredients together and pour on top. Mix the last 4 ingredients together. Spread them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minues. Sprinkle the crunch on top of the fruit.

I'm glad I could help, just be careful of the typo by the almonds, I just realized it now and am going to edit it.
