Servings: 9 people
- 1 (12 oz) box rice Chex cereal or 9 cups
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 2 tbsp lemon zest divided, from about 2 lemons
- 2 tbsp lemon juice from 1 large lemon
- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips or 2 cups
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup lemon cake mix
Heat-treat your lemon cake mix by pouring it into a microwave safe bowl and microwaving for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway through, then set aside to cool completely.
Add the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl, then set aside for later.
In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, lemon zest and lemon juice.
Add the white chocolate chips into a separate microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in-between, until melted and smooth.
Pour the butter and lemon mixture into your bowl of Chex cereal, along with the melted white chocolate, then gently mix until the cereal is evenly coated.
Combine the powdered sugar with your heat-treated lemon cake mix from earlier, then pour this into the bowl of Chex and toss to coat.
Transfer the puppy chow onto a baking sheet, spread it into an even layer and let cool completely.
Sprinkle the remaining lemon zest evenly over the puppy chow for added flavor and a pop of color.
