Lemon Buddies

So I think everyone has heard of the marvelous treat we call 'puppy chow' or 'muddy buddies' --- well here's a new twist on an old favorite - Lemon Buddies!! My husband is now on a gluten free diet and I'm trying hard to come up with things for him to eat that are delicious and don't have the typical 'gluten free' taste or feel. He's not a big fan of puppy chow, but he does love anything lemon and dessert like.... I actually cut this recipe in half, because I don't think we need 9 cups of Lemon Buddies sitting around. hehe. They turned out awesome and just like puppy chow, hard to stop eating! I hope he likes it just as much as I do! And by the way, I recommend using fresh squeezed lemon juice :)

Lemon Buddies

  • 9 cups chex cereal ( rice or corn)
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  1. Place cereal in a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Combine white chocolate chips, butter, and lemon juice in a bowl. Microwave until melted and smooth. (Stir every 30 seconds or so.)
  3. Carefully stir melted chocolate into cereal and stir to combine.
  4. Add powdered sugar to coat. (The easiest way to do this is to put the chocolate coated cereal into a ziploc bag and then add powdered sugar. Toss and mix to coat.)
  5. Spread on cookie sheet to cool and harden.
  6. Enjoy!
