Ingredients

  • 9 cups rice cereal squares
  • 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Place the rice cereal squares into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
  • Whisk the lemon zest and lemon extract into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the lemon-chocolate mixture over the cereal and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  • Add the powdered sugar to a large gallon-sized resealable plastic bag.
  • Transfer the coated cereal into the bag, seal it, and shake vigorously until the cereal is uniformly covered in powdered sugar.
  • Spread the mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer to cool and set for approximately 30 minutes before serving.
