Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
- 2 cups Pretzel sticks
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Holiday-colored candy-coated chocolates (e.g., red and green M&M's)
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable shortening or coconut oil
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Decorative holiday sprinkles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal and pretzel sticks, ensuring they are evenly mixed.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening or coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each session, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the Chex and pretzel mix, using a spatula to gently toss and coat the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and stir until everything is lightly coated and has a frosted appearance.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, holiday-colored candy-coated chocolates, and decorative holiday sprinkles.
Spread the mixture out on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
Once set, divide the Reindeer Chow into 8-ounce jars or other festive containers. Seal tightly and decorate with ribbons or gift tags for gifting.
Store any remaining Reindeer Chow in an airtight container for up to one week.
