Ingredients (Serves 8-10)

How to Make Reindeer Food Snack Mix

1. Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

2. Mix the Nut Butter

Stir the peanut butter or almond butter into the melted chocolate until fully combined.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix the cereal, pretzels, and popcorn. Toss until evenly combined.

4. Coat the Mixture

Pour the chocolate and nut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula to coat everything evenly.

5. Add the Candy

Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the Unreal candy-coated chocolates evenly over the top.

6. Set and Serve

Let the mix cool and harden at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Once set, break it into bite-sized pieces.
