Directions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. - Coat the Cereal:
Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal. Gently stir to coat the cereal evenly. - Add the Powdered Sugar Mixture:
In a large zip-top bag, combine the powdered sugar and lemonade powder. Add the coated cereal to the bag, seal it, and shake well until each piece is fully covered in the powdered sugar mixture. - Cool and Store:
