Lemonade Puppy Chow
Ingredients:
- 9 cups crispy rice cereal squares
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Yellow food coloring (optional)
Directions:
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and white chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
2. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and yellow food coloring if using. Mix well to combine.
3. Place the crispy rice cereal squares in a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon white chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir to coat all the pieces evenly.
4. Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake vigorously until the cereal is well coated with powdered sugar.
5. Spread the coated cereal on wax paper or a baking sheet to cool and set for about 20-30 minutes before serving.
