Reindeer Chow
Reindeer Chow is a festive, no-bake holiday snack mix made with chocolate-coated cereal, crunchy pretzels, colorful candy, and cheerful sprinkles. Sweet, salty, and perfectly crisp, it’s the kind of nostalgic treat that comes together in minutes but feels thoughtfully homemade.
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini pretzels (slightly broken in half)
- 3/4 cup red & green M&M’s
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt 1 cup chocolate chips (plus 1 tablespoon butter if using) in the microwave — 1 minute first, then 15-second intervals until smooth. Stir in vanilla if using.
- Pour melted chocolate over 5 cups Rice Chex in a large bowl. Gently fold until evenly coated.
- Add 1 cup mini pretzels and ¾ cup M&M’s. Fold carefully to combine without crushing.
- Transfer mixture to a large zip-top bag. Add ¾ cup powdered sugar and shake gently until coated.
- Spread onto parchment paper in an even layer and let set for 20–30 minutes.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sprinkles while chocolate is still slightly tacky.
