Description
Reindeer Food is a festive sweet and salty holiday snack mix made with Chex cereal, pretzels, white chocolate, mini marshmallows, and holiday candies for an easy Christmas treat everyone loves.
Ingredients
4 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup holiday M&M’s
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles
Instructions
1. Line a large baking sheet or counter space with parchment paper and add the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, holiday M&M’s, and mini marshmallows to a large mixing bowl.
2. Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and heat in short intervals, stirring between each one, until smooth.
3. Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
4. Spread the mixture out on the prepared parchment paper in an even layer.
5. Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles over the top while the chocolate is still soft.
6. Let the mixture sit at room temperature until set, or chill briefly to firm it faster.
7. Break into clusters and serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
This recipe works best when you stir gently so the cereal stays crisp and does not crush.
Add the sprinkles right away before the white chocolate sets so they stick evenly.
Store Reindeer Food in a cool place to keep the chocolate coating firm and the mix crunchy.
