I was looking at various Chex mix recipes and decided to make a twist on one called Chex Lemon Buddies.  I used Meyer lemons which are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons.  The result was a definite win!

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 tsp grated lemon peel (I grated the peel to two Meyer lemons)
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (equal to the juice of the two Meyer lemons)
1/4 cup butter
9 cups Rice Chex (or your favorite rice puffed squares cereal)
2 cups powdered sugar

Directions


In a large bowl, place the 9 cups of cereal.  Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine chocolate chips, lemon peel, lemon juice, and butter.  Microwave on High for 1 minute.  Stir, then heat another 30 seconds.  Stir until everything has melted and combined.

Pour the chocolate-lemon mixture over the cereal and stir until the cereal is evenly coated.

Place the coated cereal in a gallon zip-top bag.  Add the powdered sugar and toss until the cereal is coated.

Spread on a large cookie sheet covered in foil and let dry (or start eating them like we did!).
