I spent several minutes crushing the cereal, and I never got it completely into "fine crumbs". The crust never really became a crust after cooking it. Instead it was just crunchy crumbly crumbs. After being refrigerated for several hours, the crust became kind of soggy. The taste of the strawberry mixture reminded me of strawberry mamba candy, (I used to eat that all the time when I was a kid). Overall, this ended up tasting pretty weird.
