Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Using a food processor or a zip-top bag, crush your freeze-dried blueberries into a fine powder.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt together the white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and cream cheese. Stir continuously for about 3 to 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Gently fold to coat the cereal evenly.
  5. Fold in the crushed blueberry powder, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag, add powdered sugar, seal tightly, and shake until well-coated.
  7. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
