Lemon Bar Muddy Buddies
These sweet and tangy muddy buddies are made with Chex cereal and are coated in a delicious lemon-flavored mixture. They are finished off with a dusting of powdered sugar for that iconic lemon bar sweetness.
Ingredients:
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Start by preparing a large mixing bowl by placing the 9 cups of Rice Chex cereal in it. Set aside for later use.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and then continue to heat in 15-second intervals until smooth. Ensure you stir well after each interval.
- Once melted and mixed, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully pour the lemon-flavored mixture over the Rice Chex cereal, using a spatula to gently fold it in. Be sure to coat all the cereal evenly without crushing it.
- In a large plastic bag or resealable container, add the powdered sugar. Pour the coated Chex mixture into the bag with the powdered sugar. Seal tightly and shake thoroughly until all pieces are well-coated.
- Spread the finished muddy buddies out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and allow the coating to set. This will only take about 15-30 minutes.
- Once cooled, you can enjoy your Lemon Bar Muddy Buddies right away, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
