I made this last summer and took it with us on our California vacation. My little cousins went nuts over this and almost ruined their dinner appetites! It is such a fun, refreshing change from the chocolate peanut butter mix that is also a favorite. With spring just around the corner, I thought this was the perfect time to share since this has such bright, citrus flavors! If you can't find the dried orange peel you could probably substitute fresh peel. I have another box of Chex in my pantry just waiting for me to make a new batch!
Citrus Chex Mix
adapted from Eat at Home
12.8 oz box Rice Chex
12 oz. bag white baking chips
5 tsp. dried orange peel1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. lemon juice
5 Tbsp. butter
2 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Pour the cereal into a very large bowl. In a separate, microwave safe bowl combine white baking chips, orange peel, lime and lemon juices and butter. Microwave uncovered for 1 minutes. Stir, then microwave for 30 seconds more. Stir until smooth and melted. Pour over the cereal and stir to coat the pieces. Add the powdered sugar and stir until each piece is coated in powdered sugar.
