Feel the holiday spirit with this snack!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 3 cups Rice Chex
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup thin pretzels
- 3/4 cup M&Ms (divided)
- 1/2 cup raisins (or dried cranberries)
- 2 tablespoons gold sprinkles
- Optional: 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- Optional: 1/2 cup salted nuts
Instructions:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and set aside.
- Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil, if using, in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent the white chocolate from overheating.
- Add the Chex, marshmallows, pretzels, 1/2 cup of the M&Ms, nuts, and the raisins to the white chocolate, and stir until everything is completely coated with a thin layer of white chocolate.
- Scrape the candy out onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth it into a thin layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of M&Ms on top and press down gently to adhere them. Adding some candies on top keeps them from being coated in white chocolate and gives your reindeer chow a pop of bright color. If you’re using edible glitter or sprinkles, dust that all over the top of the candy.
- Refrigerate the reindeer chow for at least 20 minutes to set the white chocolate.
- Once set, break it into small pieces to serve.
The reindeer chow can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
