Method
 

  1. Creating Citrus Bliss Muddy Buddies is a straightforward process that results in a deliciously unique snack.
  2. Prepping the Base: Start by placing the Chex cereal in a large bowl, ensuring there’s enough room for tossing and coating.
  3. Making the Coating: Combine white chocolate, butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a microwave-safe bowl, heating until smooth and fully melted. This mixture is crucial as it acts as the flavor foundation.
  4. Combining the Elements: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal, gently folding to ensure each piece is evenly coated. This step is key to getting the perfect flavor in every bite.
  5. Finishing Touch: Transfer the coated cereal to a large ziplock bag, add powdered sugar and salt, then shake until each piece is well covered. This final coating adds a delightful sweetness and a fine texture to the snack.
