Instructions

1. Add the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, honey roasted peanuts, and candy coated chocolates to a large mixing bowl and toss gently.

2. Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.

3. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the snack mixture and fold gently until lightly coated.

4. Add the holiday sprinkles while the coating is still wet and toss lightly again.

5. Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet and let it sit until the coating is firm.

6. Break the mixture into bite size clusters once set.

7. Spoon the Reindeer Food into clear treat bags and seal each bag with ribbon or twist ties.

8. Decorate each bag with candy eyes, a red chocolate candy nose, and chocolate antlers to create a reindeer face.

Notes

Use white candy melts for the smoothest coating and easiest setting.

Do not overmix after adding the melted chocolate or the cereal can break apart.

Store in a cool dry place to keep the pretzels and cereal crunchy.
