Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups rice or corn square cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup red and green candy-coated chocolates
- 1/4 cup mini pretzels
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare cereal: Place the cereal in a large mixing bowl and set it aside, ensuring you have enough room to mix later.
- Melt chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Add vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted mixture, blending it evenly for enhanced flavor.
- Coat cereal: Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the cereal in the large bowl and gently fold or stir until every piece is evenly coated.
- Coat with powdered sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag tightly, and shake vigorously until the cereal pieces are fully and evenly coated with the sugar.
- Cool the mixture: Spread the coated cereal evenly on a baking sheet. Allow it to cool completely to set the coating and prevent sticking.
- Add festive mix-ins: Once cooled, add the red and green candy-coated chocolates, mini pretzels, and holiday sprinkles to the mixture. Gently fold to incorporate all the festive toppings evenly.
- Serve or store: Serve the White Chocolate Reindeer Chow immediately or store it in an airtight container for freshness up to one week.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter if preferred for a different nutty flavor.
- Adding mini marshmallows is a great option for extra sweetness and texture.
- Store your Reindeer Chow in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to one week.
