Ingredients
  

Base
  • 7 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest fresh
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
Coating
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar divided
  • 1 cup freeze-dried blueberries crushed into powder
  • 0.5 cup graham cracker crumbs optional
  • 0.5 cup fresh blueberries for garnish only

Equipment

  • Large microwave-safe bowl
  • Ziplock bags (gallon size)

  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Place cereal in a very large bowl.
  2. Crush freeze-dried blueberries into a fine powder.
  3. Prepare two ziplock bags: one with half the powdered sugar, the other with remaining sugar, blueberry powder, and graham crumbs.
  4. Microwave white chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  5. Stir lemon zest and lemon juice into the melted chocolate.
  6. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal and fold gently until evenly coated.
  7. Divide cereal between the two bags and shake vigorously to coat.
  8. Spread on parchment paper to cool. Garnish with fresh blueberries before serving.

Notes

Use freeze-dried berries for coating to prevent sogginess. Add fresh berries only if eating immediately.
