Ingredients
- 12 ounces rice chex cereal
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 Teaspoons grated lemon zest plus extra for garnish
- 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups white candy melts (or yellow)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add the Rice cereal to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, add the butter, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Melt the butter in the microwave. Stir to combine and then drizzle over the top of the cereal.
- Usa a rubber spatula to gently fold the cereal to coat the pieces in the butter mixture.
- In a separate small bowl, add the candy melts. Microwave for 1 minute then stir. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds and stir until the pieces are melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted candy over the cereal then gently fold the cereal to coat the pieces in the vanilla flavored candy.
- Add the cereal mixture to a large Ziplock bag. Add the powdered sugar on top then seal the bag and gently shake the bag until all the pieces are evenly coated. It’s totally fine to have a few larger chunks sticking together.
- Add the mix to a large bowl, add extra zest and serve!

Notes
- I find that the candy melts are very easy to work with, but you can use the same amount of white chocolate chips instead. However, I advise you to add 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil to mixture to help the chocolate melt smoothly and not seize up.
