Lemon Puppy Chow

This recipe is a spin-off from the popular puppy chow recipe made with peanut butter and chocolate. Instead, it's made with white chocolate and lemon! I absolutely love anything lemon, especially in the summer, so when my family decided to have a game night I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to try this recipe out! It turned out great and was a huge hit. Hope you enjoy!

Lemon Puppy Chow

Recipe Adapted from: Smash Peas and Carrots 

 

Ingredients:

9 cups Rice Chex cereal

1 1/4 cup white vanilla baking chips

1/4 cup butter or margarine

4 tsp. grated lemon peel

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. lemon extract

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions:

Place 9 cups of cereal into a bowl and set aside.

Place baking chips, butter, lemon peel, lemon juice, and extract in a microwavable bowl. 

Microwave ingredients for 1 min. and stir. Then microwave in intervals of 30 seconds, stirring after each to make sure the ingredients don't burn. Continue until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour over cereal and stir to evenly coat.

Pour cereal mixture into a large Ziplock bag, add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until everything is coated in the powdered sugar. (I placed my cereal in a giant container with a lid, and instead of placing it into a Ziplock bag, I simply put the lid on the container and carefully shook until everything was coated. Either way works just fine.)
