Chex® Lemon Buddies

Chex® Lemon Buddies

Okay, this came straight from the Chex website, but I wanted something besides the normal "People Chow" and the already yummy White Chocolate Cherry Chex mix.  I like lemon bars and thought to myself this sounded good, so I gave it a shot.  Yum.  It was so good!  

I made this recipe for a bake sale at my work, along with the White Chocolate Cherry mix.  They both were a hit!

Ingredients

9	cups Rice Chex® cereal
1 1/4	cups white vanilla baking chips
1/4	cup butter or margarine
4	teaspoons grated lemon peel
2	tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2	cups powdered sugar

Directions

1.	Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
2.	In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chips, butter, lemon peel and juice uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.
3.	Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; gently shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool. Store in airtight container.
