Description
Whip up this delightful Cozy Reindeer Chow Snack Mix for a festive, chocolatey, and peanut buttery treat perfect for sharing or gifting during the holidays. This easy recipe combines crispy cereal with a sweet coating and pops of festive color and crunch.
Ingredients
9 cups Chex cereal (rice, corn, or wheat)
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup holiday red and green M&M’s
1 cup mini pretzel twists
Instructions
Place Chex cereal in a large bowl.
Melt peanut butter, butter, and chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in vanilla.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and gently mix until coated.
Transfer the coated cereal to a gallon-sized sealable bag.
Add powdered sugar to the bag, seal, and shake until the cereal is well coated.
Let the mix cool on a baking sheet, then stir in M&M’s and pretzels.
Notes
Be gentle when coating the cereal to avoid crushing the delicate squares.
Vigorously shaking the bag ensures even coating of powdered sugar, preventing clumps.
Allow the mix to cool completely before adding M&M’s and pretzels to prevent melting.
Store your finished snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crunch and freshness.
