Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Add the grated lemon zest and lemon juice to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring well to combine.
Pour the melted lemon-chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal, gently tossing to evenly coat the cereal.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a container with a tight-fitting lid. Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container.
Seal the bag or container and gently shake it until all the cereal is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
Spread the coated cereal mixture out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool for 15-20 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the Chex Lemon Buddies to a serving bowl or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
