  2. In a medium saucepan, melt together the white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and cream cheese over low heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously.
  3. After removing from heat, add lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined for about 1 minute.
  4. Pour the creamy melted mixture over the Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl and gently fold for about 2-3 minutes until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried blueberries over the coated cereal and mix carefully for about 1-2 minutes.
