# How To Make:
01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
02 - Place the rice cereal squares in a large mixing bowl.

09 - Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The white chocolate and lemon combination creates this dreamy creamy citrus flavor that nobody expects in puppy chow
- It comes together in fifteen minutes flat but tastes like you put way more thought into it
02 -
- Work quickly once the chocolate is melted because it starts setting up fast especially with the lemon juice added
- Shake the bag vigorously but gently so you do not crush the cereal into dust
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients melt more evenly and create a smoother final coating
- Zest your lemon before juicing it because it is nearly impossible to zest a squeezed lemon
