Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 6 cups rice or corn square cereal

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup red and green candy-coated chocolates
  • 1/4 cup mini pretzels
  • 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare cereal: Place the rice or corn square cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside to be coated later.
  2. Melt chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add vanilla: Stir the teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted mixture to enhance flavor.
  4. Coat cereal: Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal in the large bowl, and gently stir until every piece is evenly coated without breaking the cereal.
  5. Add powdered sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously until the cereal is fully dusted with the sugar.
  6. Cool down: Spread the powdered sugar-coated cereal onto a baking sheet in an even layer and allow it to cool completely to set the coating.
  7. Mix festive add-ins: Once cooled, mix in the red and green candy-coated chocolates, mini pretzels, and holiday sprinkles to add a colorful and crunchy finish.
  8. Serve or store: Serve this festive snack right away, or store it in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty flavor.
  • Adding mini marshmallows gives an extra layer of sweetness and softness if desired.
  • Store Reindeer Chow in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy for up to one week.
