Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1¼ cups Ghirardelli White Chocolate
  • ¼ tsp lemon extract

Coating Mix

  • ¾ cup Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each interval until completely smooth. Then, stir in the lemon extract to infuse the chocolate with fresh lemon flavor.
  2. Prepare Cereal: Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a gallon-size resealable storage bag to make mixing easier and less messy.
  3. Coat Cereal: Pour the melted lemon-infused white chocolate into the bag with the cereal. Seal the bag and gently toss to evenly coat every piece of cereal with the chocolate. Alternatively, you can toss the mixture in a large mixing bowl if preferred.
  4. Mix Powdered Sugar and Cake Mix: In a separate bowl, combine the powdered sugar and Lemon Supreme Cake Mix. Fold the powders together until well incorporated, creating the lemony dry coating mix.
  5. Add Coating Mix: Pour the powdered sugar and cake mix blend into the storage bag with the coated cereal. Reseal the bag and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece of cereal is equally coated with the lemon-flavored mixture.
  6. Chill and Serve: Transfer the coated puppy chow to a container and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the coating to set firmly. Before serving, you can optionally sprinkle additional lemon zest over the mix for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Notes

  • Use good quality white chocolate, like Ghirardelli, for the best flavor and melting consistency.
  • Gently toss the cereal when coating to avoid breaking the pieces.
  • Chilling overnight enhances the texture by letting the coating harden properly.
  • Feel free to add lemon zest on top for enhanced lemon aroma and taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
