The blueberry-lemon muddy buddies I made earlier today are turning into a major temptation! I discovered these as a little bonus from this blogging thing I do. The good folks from Chex sent me a box of their latest new cereal – Blueberry Chex cereal. They did not pay me to provide this review but they did give me the recipe for these muddy buddies. My review is 100% my own.
I do love these Chex blueberry-lemon muddy buddies and think they will become a new regular treat in our house! Let me share with you the recipe the Chex folks shared with me.
Ingredients
- 1 box Blueberry Chex cereal
- 1 1/4 cups white vanilla baking chips
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 3-4 tspoons grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 1 gallon plastic storage bags
Instructions
- Pour entire box of Chex Blueberry cereal into a large bowl.
- In a microwaveable bowl or a large measuring cup, microwave vanilla baking chips, butter, lemon zest for 1 minute
- Stir well to see if all ingredients are melted. If not, microwave another 30 seconds until you are able to stir this mixture to a smooth consistency.
- Pour 1/2 of mixture into 2 gallon sized food storage bags
- Add 1/2 of powdered sugar into each bag
- Shake until cereal is coated
- After allowing to cool on parchment paper or foil, enjoy!
- Best stored in an airtight container.
My main tip for making these, use a real lemon. I honestly don’t think the lemon juice type products have the same flavor.
Hope you enjoy this sweet treat as much as my family did! Oh, if you also want to make regular muddy buddies, you can find the recipe in my Puppy Chow post.
