Ingredients
Scale
9 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prep the cereal: Place 9 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
- Melt the coating: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Microwave: Heat the mixture on high for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the cereal: Pour the melted lemon-chocolate mixture over the cereal. Gently fold with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Add the sugar: Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top bag. Add powdered sugar and salt.
- Shake to coat: Seal the bag and shake vigorously until all the cereal is well-coated in the sugary lemon mixture.
- Serve: Pour into a bowl for snacking or portion into small bags for gifting.

Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
Let coating cool slightly before shaking to prevent clumping.
