COOKING WITH KIDS – REINDEER FOOD

Reindeer Food

Hmm…if you don’t want the Reindeer to eat the tree you may want to make some Reindeer Food!

This is one of those wonderful recipes that have been around and pulled out every year like the Chex Party Mix.

This is great not just for the reindeer but for Holiday Parties, children’s birthday parties, scout meetings, camping and road trips. You could say it is just a fun snack for kids.

Here is what you need:

1 lb white chocolate

3 cups rice chex

3 cups corn chex

3 cups Cheerios

2 cups pretzel sticks

2 cups dry roasted peanuts

12 oz pkg M&M’s

Here’s how you do it:  Adults – slowly melt white chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water or melt in microwave according to package directions. Have the kids combine the cereal, pretzels, peanuts, and M&M’s in large bowl. Adults slowly pour chocolate over mixture on wax paper, mix well to coat evening. Spread on wax paper lined trays and cool. Break into small pieces and store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
