Ingredients

5 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons instant lemonade mix (like Country Time)
Yellow food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Pour Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Add a few drops of yellow food coloring to the melted chocolate if desired, and stir to combine.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and gently stir to coat all the pieces evenly.
In a large zip-top bag, combine powdered sugar and lemonade mix.
Add the coated cereal to the bag, seal it, and shake until all pieces are coated in the sugar mixture.
Spread the puppy chow out on a baking sheet to cool and dry before serving or storing.
