Favorite Christmas Treat {Reindeer Food}

I started making this treat for family and friends several years ago– a recipe torn from a magazine in the doctor’s office.  I can’t even remember which magazine, sadly, but it’s favorite to make, share, and enjoy.  We call it reindeer food. 🙂

Here’s all you need:

The cereal is either corn or rice chex (I just grabbed a bag, so I really don’t know what this batch holds. :))

I use the microwave to soften the almond bark– much easier than on the stove top!

You just have to stir it periodically to keep it from burning.  While that was melting, I dump everything else into a big plastic bowl.

And mix it up.  I use a spatula or wooden spoon.  When the bark is melted, I pour it into the bowl.

Important!  Stir thoroughly!!  Then just dump it out onto wax paper and allow to cool.

Mmmmm… this is the part where I’m usually beating my family off with said spatula or wooden spoon.  It’s just too tempting to break off a piece from the edges while it’s cooling. 🙂

Festive treat bags and raffia provide a nice finishing touch for the part that you’re gifting.  And this year, I added a fun printable from my friend Megan over at Balancing Home.

She’s done several ADORABLE printables that would be perfect for your homemade treats this Christmas!  Stop by and tell her I sent you. 🙂

Enjoy but beware… this stuff is like Satan in a gift bag.  It’s THAT good. 🙂

Happy Snacking!
