Ingredients

Scale

Main Mix

  • 2 cups Chex mix (gluten free)
  • 2 cups popcorn
  • 2 cups pretzels (gluten free if desired)
  • 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts (unsalted)

White Chocolate Coating

  • 9 oz white chocolate (dairy free if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Toppings

  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Combine Mix: In a large bowl, add the Chex mix, popcorn, gluten free pretzels, and dry roasted peanuts. Gently toss them together to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together using your preferred method, such as a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Coat Mix: Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the snack mix in the bowl. Stir carefully to coat every piece thoroughly with the white chocolate mixture.
  4. Add Toppings: Fold in the Christmas sprinkles or any additional desired mix-ins, distributing them evenly throughout the coated snack.
  5. Chill and Set: Spread the coated Reindeer Chow mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer. Place the sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
  6. Serve: Once set, break the Reindeer Chow into bite-sized pieces. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free white chocolate and gluten free pretzels for a fully allergen-conscious snack.
  • Adjust the amount of coconut oil depending on desired chocolate consistency.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Add other mix-ins like candy pieces or nuts for variety.
  • Melting chocolate carefully prevents burning and ensures smooth coating.
