We could live on snacks and appetizers during this season and the choices are endless. This Christmas Chex Mix is the top of the list for snacks around Christmas. It’s easily made with M&M’s, pecans, pretzels, cereals and it’s coated with white chocolate. And you might wish to make more than one batch because it doesn’t last long.
Are you like that, you just want a festive fun snack while watching Christmas moves or playing games with the family? This White Chocolate Chex Mix is great for snacking and can be made ahead of time and stored in airtight containers.
We call this Christmas Chex Mix, Reindeer Chow and it has the perfect blend of sweet and salty. It’s also fun for the little ones to leave out for Santa’s Reindeer.
We have always left Santa plenty of cookies and milk but what about all those reindeer, they need loads of energy to pull that overloaded sleigh don’t they? I think we need to make extra of this Reindeer chow, don’t you? And I bet Santa will not just save this Reindeer chow for the reindeer but I bet he enjoys it also.
This is a fun tradition here at the Ranch, feeding Santa’s Reindeer and Santa’s helpers like us. And speaking of Christmas snacks, be sure to scroll on to the bottom for other suggestions.
