Peppermint Reindeer Food

This recipe is an original! I love puppy chow & this is a fun holiday twist to it!

Ingredients:

  • 8 – 10 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 1 – 1.5 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 12 candy canes, crushed
  • 1 – 2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation:

  1. First, pour the cereal into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Next, melt the chocolate chips with the butter in a double boiler, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once it is completely melted, pour the chocolate over the cereal. Make sure to stir while pouring. This will help the chocolate coat the cereal evenly.
  4. Take a meat mallet and place the candy canes in a ziplock bag. Using the solid side of the mallet, crush the candy canes into small pieces. Once this is done, add the crushed candy canes to the mixing bowl.
  5. Pour the cereal into a Ziploc bag and add the powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake until the cereal pieces are evenly coated with sugar. This might need to be done in batches.

Notes:

  • Makes 8-10 Servings
  • Will stay good for up to a week in an airtight container.
