Instructions

Place Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the lemon-chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir until fully coated.
In a separate bowl, mix powdered sugar with lemonade powder.
Toss the coated cereal with the sugar-lemonade mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture on a baking sheet to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

For a brighter color, add a drop or two of yellow food coloring to the melted chocolate mixture.

Lime juice and zest can be used for a limeade variation.

Increase lemonade powder to 1/3 cup for a tangier flavor.

Try a blend of Chex types for texture variation.

Mix in crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a strawberry lemonade twist.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
