I should have posted this recipe a month ago, I really don't know what happened to June! Can anyone tell me where it went?! So I made this as I was in the mood to bake and had some lemon curd that I didn't know what to do with. I all of a sudden remembered seeing this recipe and the only thing keeping me from making it earlier was the lemon curd! Turns out I didn't quite have enough, but they still turned out so yummy! A light refreshing alternative to an old favorite!
It calls for Rice Chex cereal, but I still prefer to use Corn and wish I would have followed my instinct on this one, oh well! So the only big difference is white chocolate instead of milk and adding the lemon curd with the chocolate. Once melted, coat your cereal and then toss those in a Ziploc bag with some powered sugar. That is all and you are done!
So fast and you have a snack that you just can't stop snacking on!

As originally found on Lemon Tree Dwelling
Ingredients:
8 cups Rice or Corn Chex cereal
1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
1/2 cup lemon curd
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Melt chocolate, lemon curd and butter either on the stove in a double boiler or in a microwave safe bowl, stirring constantly.
2. Have cereal in a large bowl and when the chocolate mixture is ready, pour over cereal and stir to coat. Once coated, put cereal in a large gallon sized ziploc with the powdered sugar, toss to coat. I have found it is better to do a couple of cups worth at a time, dump out and add more sugar and Chex cereal and repeat.
3. Store in an airtight container.
