Merry Christmas and How to Catch a Reindeer

Merry Christmas
I will be taking a blog break for Christmas.

I wish all of you a blessed Christmas. 
Enjoy time with family, friends and may you feel the blessings of Christmas.

Before I go, I will give you a recipe to help you catch one of Santa's very own reindeer.

Will it be Donner?
or 
Dasher?
or 
Comet?
Be sure to let me know!

 
 Reindeer Bait


Ingredients

  • 3 c. corn chex
  • 2 c. wheat chex
  • 2 c. mini pretzels
  • 2 c. mini marshmallows
  • 1 c. red and green M&Ms
  • 20 oz. white chocolate
  • Red and green sprinkles, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, pretzels, mini marshmallows, and M&Ms.
  2. Melt white chocolate and pour over mixture. Stir until fully coated.
  3. Transfer mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet or dish and top with sprinkles, then refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.
  4. Break up into bite-size pieces and serve.


I do find having the M&M's in the mix makes it too sweet. My boys think it is great. I will make it again next Christmas and I plan to skip the M&M's. (don't tell the boys)

Merry

Christmas
