Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 5 cups Chex cereal
- 8 oz white chocolate almond bark
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon emulsion
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 lemon (zested)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate almond bark and unsalted butter. Heat at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the lemon emulsion to evenly distribute the lemon flavor.
- Coat Chex Cereal: Pour the white chocolate lemon mixture over the Chex cereal in a large bowl. Gently fold and mix until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Add Powdered Sugar and Lemon Zest: Place the powdered sugar and freshly grated lemon zest into a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the coated cereal mixture into the bag, seal it tightly, and shake well to completely coat the cereal pieces with the powder and zest.
- Set and Serve: Spread the coated cereal mix evenly onto a baking sheet to allow it to set and dry for 30 minutes. Once set, transfer to an airtight container for storing or serve immediately as a sweet, tangy snack.
Notes
- Use white chocolate almond bark for smooth melting and easy coating.
- Lemon emulsion provides a stronger lemon flavor compared to fresh lemon juice.
- Ensure the cereal is completely coated for the best flavor experience.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
- Can be customized by adding lemon zest into the coating mixture or mixing in additional snacks like pretzels.
