How to Make Chex Lemon Buddies
- Measure 6 cups Chex cereal (Rice, Wheat, or a mix) into a large bowl and set aside.
- In a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and stir gently until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated. If needed, add more cereal to prevent excessive wetness.
- Pour the coated cereal into a large (2-gallon) resealable plastic bag.
- Add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar to the bag.
- Seal the bag tightly and gently shake until the cereal is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
- Spread the Chex Lemon Buddies on a large sheet of waxed paper or foil to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
