A zesty twist on a favorite. Check out this delicious Lemon Muddy Buddies Recipe, plus its gluten-free.
Lemon is such a lively flavor that is perfect to usher in spring. It's sweet/sour and full of zest! That is why I love these Lemon Muddy Buddies this time of year. Plus they are so easy to make, the kids love to help!
How to Make Lemon Muddy Buddies
Gather your ingredients. You will only need Chex, lemon, white chocolate chips, butter & powdered sugar. Measure your Chex in a large bowl and set aside.
Melt the Chocolate & Butter together. Then stir in the lemon juice.
Pour the mix over the Chex, stirring to coat. Then toss with powdered sugar to coat.
You are left with these little bits of awesomeness! The kids couldn't get enough of them! These would be great to put out on the table for Easter.
Storing Muddy Buddies
Store these in an airtight container in the fridge for best results.
Vegan Lemon Muddy Buddies
Just switch out a couple of ingredients to make this tasty treat vegan! Use a vegan butter substitute instead of butter. Also, use a vegan white chocolate (vanilla baking chip.) I have used these King David Vanilla Baking Chips with great results. They are delicious.

Have you made these far ahead and put them in the freezer? Just curious because I'd like to make LOTS for an upcoming event.
Thanks, they look so delicious.

I would say they would be safe in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. 🙂

will it not make the muddy buddies soggy or change the texture to put them in the fridge?
Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts
No it actually makes them crispier. Jut put them in an air tight container so they don't absorb moisture from anything else.
