Lemonade Puppy Chow

How to Whip Up This Zesty Snack:
Preparation: Start by placing the Chex cereal in a large bowl. This will be your base for the lemonade-flavored coating.
Melting Magic: Combine white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until you achieve a smooth and fully melted mixture. This concoction is your flavor bomb, ready to transform the humble cereal.
Coating: Pour the melted mixture over the Chex cereal. Gently fold until each piece is evenly coated with the white chocolate-lemon blend. The key here is to ensure a light hand to keep the cereal intact.
Powdering: In a large zip-top bag, mix powdered sugar and lemonade powder. This is where the magic happens! Add the coated cereal into the bag, seal, and shake well. This step is not just fun but ensures each piece is enveloped in a sweet, tangy coat, giving it that lemonade punch.
Cooling: Spread the coated cereal on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This step is crucial for allowing the Puppy Chow to set and develop that signature crunch. Once cooled, store in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
