Slow Cooker Lemon Buddies

This recipe is the recipe that started it all…my absolute LOVE for Chex Buddy mixes.

Two years ago, I made two batches for a family gathering and it was a HUGE hit with the entire family. You see, my husbands favorite family dessert is lemon bars. And this irresistible snack mix tastes just like lemon bars.

With only a 4 ingredients (Chex cereal, white almond bark or white chocolate, a lemon and powdered sugar) this recipe could not be easier to make! And, if you like to include the kids in the kitchen this is a great recipe to have the little ones help you out.

You can use whatever variety of Chex cereal you like such as rice Chex, corn Chex, wheat Chex, etc. I personally like to use rice Chex cereal because it has a nice mild flavor that lets the lemon flavor shine through and it is gluten-free so I don’t have to worry about party guests who might have issues with gluten.

The original recipe for this lemony snack mix came from the Chex website . I just changed it ever so slightly and added in more lemon!
