Zesty Lemonade Puppy Chow is a refreshing twist on the classic Puppy Chow, combining the tangy lemon flavor with creamy white chocolate and a sweet sugar coating. This easy, no-bake snack is perfect for summer parties, picnics, or a fun treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

9 cups rice Chex cereal (or any square cereal)

1 cup white chocolate chips (or vanilla candy melts)

¼ cup lemonade powder mix (like Country Time or Crystal Light)

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon butter (optional)

½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Melt the white chocolate chips and butter (if using) in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. Mix in the lemonade powder and lemon zest (if using) to the melted chocolate, stirring until fully combined.
  3. Pour the rice Chex cereal into a large bowl. Pour the white chocolate-lemonade mixture over the cereal and gently stir to coat evenly.
  4. Add powdered sugar to the coated cereal and stir until fully coated. Use a large resealable bag for easier tossing.
  5. Spread the puppy chow onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Once cooled, break into pieces and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Add colorful sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini marshmallows for extra texture and flavor.

Substitute lemonade powder with lime or orange powder for different citrus variations.

For creaminess, add a small amount of heavy cream or coconut milk to the melted chocolate.

Incorporate dried fruits like cranberries or pineapple for a fun twist.
