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 in between, until melted and smooth.
Pour the melted lemon mixture over the cereal and gently fold until all pieces are evenly coated.
In a large zip-top bag, combine powdered sugar and lemonade powder. Add coated cereal, seal, and shake until well coated.
Spread coated cereal on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and set.
Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
Let the coated cereal dry fully before storing to maintain crunchiness.
Try variations like berry lemonade or limeade versions for a twist.
Add pastel sprinkles or extra white chocolate chips for festive touches.
