Recipe: Reindeer Food


Reindeer Food 10

Many many years ago, a friend introduced me to a yummy Christmas treat called “Reindeer Food” and I look forward to it every year. I’ve tweaked, added, and taken away from the recipe over the years, so here’s my version of this popular recipe.

Reindeer Food

Ingredients:

1 package 10 oz mini pretzels
5 cups of cheerios (I like Honey Nut)
5 cups of corn chex
2 cups salted peanuts
1 pound of plain Christmas M&M’s
1 package of almond bark

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients. I combined them all in a very large pot on top of the stove (stove off).

In a glass bowl, heat almond bark in microwave, starting at 30 second intervals, stirring each time. Heat until almond bark is smooth – do not overheat.

Pour almond bark over cereal mixture and mix well.

Spread onto parchment or wax paper and sift powdered sugar on top.

Allow to cool, then break apart into pieces.

Serve and enjoy!

  1. That looks yummy and so festive. One of my favorite things to make for a holiday party is a peppermint roll. I'll be making one tonight so maybe I should post about it!

  3. I've had that before! Didn't know it was called reindeer food...so yummy! When we say reindeer food around here...we are talking about oats with glitter in them that we spread out onto the grass Christmas Eve for Santa's reindeer to eat when they come to our house that night! ;-)
