Description
A delicious twist on traditional puppy chow with a refreshing lemon flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 4 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (divided)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 10 ounces white candy melts (vanilla-flavored)
- 2 – 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add the Rice Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl stir together the melted butter, ½ teaspoon lemon zest and fresh lemon juice. Pour the butter mixture over the Rice Chex cereal and gently toss to evenly coat all the cereal with the butter mixture.
- In a separate medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add the white candy melts and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then heat again in 30 second increments, until the candy discs are melted and smooth. Be sure to stir the white candy melts between each heating in the microwave.
- Pour the melted white vanilla-flavored candy over the Rice Chex cereal and gently toss until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Add 1 cup of the powdered sugar to the bowl of coated cereal and toss to coat. Add the remaining 1 – 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar to create a thicker coating of the powdered sugar. The total amount of powdered sugar needed will depend on how well you would like your cereal coated.
- Transfer the lemon puppy chow to a large serving bowl and sprinkle the remaining ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest evenly over the puppy chow for added flavor and a pop of color.
