The blueberry-lemon muddy buddies I made earlier today are turning into a major temptation! I love traditional chocolate and peanut butter muddy buddies, but these are a very close second. They seem more summery and I enjoy the different and fresh flavor!
This recipe is on the box of blueberry Chex cereal. I thought I'd try it and see how it would turn out.
I do love these Chex blueberry-lemon muddy buddies and think they will become a new regular treat in our house! This recipe is inspired by a recipe from Chex cereal.
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.

Don’t you add the powdered sugar after you have coated the cereal with the white chocolate mixture? According to the directions you listed, it says to put the chocolate mixture and then the powdered sugar in right after, then shake it all up. I don’t think that will work the way it’s supposed to. Not if this is supposed to be a lemon blueberry flavor of muddy buddies like you say it is. Though I really want to make this for my daughter, she loves that flavor combination.

This recipe sounds delicious! When do you add the lemon juice?
