Part of Our Holiday Movie Snack Board
Reindeer Chow is our festive holiday spin on Puppy Chow. Using the classic Chex cereal base, we added in mint chocolates, Sno-Caps candy, and Christmas-colored marshmallows to celebrate the season. It's a perfect treat after a long night of pulling Santa’s sleigh, or just while enjoying a night of watching holiday movies with your family or friends.
Our love of holiday movies inspired us to create some easy and delicious recipes based on a few of the classics from our childhoods. You can see all these recipes come together in our Holiday Movie Snack Board. Happy Holidays from our family to yours! And happy snacking!
Place the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a smaller, microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Heat in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring between each set until the chocolate is melted. Stir well. Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex and very gently, stir until all the cereal is coated in chocolate. Then sprinkle about ½ cup of powdered sugar over the top of the cereal then place the rest into a gallon sized zipper bag. Scoop the cereal into the bag, close and shake well.
Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet and allow it to cool and get crispy. Pour the Andes mints, Snow Caps and mini marshmallows over the top.
Place the Reindeer Chow into a festive serving bowl.
