The Wannabe Chef: Luscious Lemon

Lemon Muddy Buddy Mix

I’m heading to Richmond to visit friends and want to bring something yummy for us to snack on while we catch up and reminisce about old times. The chocolate lover in me was pushing for my usual go-to fudgy desserts, but in the end, my love for lemon-flavored anything won out.

I took to Pinterest for some lemony delights that were not only delicious but enough to feed a crowd. Lemon Bar Muddy Buddies stood out because of the tangy lemon curd and white chocolate the recipe called for. I’m a huge fan of Chex Mix and have enjoyed several variations, both sweet and savory. This one proved to be a keeper as well…hope I don’t eat it all before I make it to Richmond!

Lemon Bar Muddy Buddies

  • 8 c. Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 c. white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • 1/2 c. lemon curd
  • 1/4 c. butter
  • 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Melt white chocolate, butter, and lemon curd in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.

Pour Rice Chex into a large paper bag (grocery size) and pour melted lemon mixture over cereal. Fold the bag to seal and shake to coat cereal.

Add powdered sugar to paper bag and shake once more to coat. 

Spread out on cookie sheet to cool; once completely cool, store at room temperature in air-tight containers.
