Easy Reindeer Food Recipes

REINDEER FOOD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, mix together rolled oats, red-colored sugar, and green-colored sugar until well incorporated.
• Transfer sugared oats to zip-topped plastic bags, adding more colored sugar for a festive effect.
• Tie with a ribbon and attach the following poem: Sprinkle this reindeer food outside tonight. The moonlight will make it sparkle bright. As the reindeer fly and roam This will guide them to your home.
• On Christmas Eve, hand each child a package of reindeer dust and let them untie the ribbon and sprinkle it on the lawn while reciting the poem. Then, all they have to do is wait!

REINDEER FOOD

Steps:

• Cover a large area of counter space with waxed paper and tape it down.
• Mix pretzels, corn cereal squares, peanuts, and candy-coated milk chocolate pieces together in a large bowl.
• Melt white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Pour melted white chocolate over pretzel mixture; stir to evenly coat. Quickly transfer mixture to the prepared waxed paper and spread in a thin layer; cool completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

EASY REINDEER FOOD

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate - you could use the microwave but I find it smoother and less likely to burn by creating my own double boiler. Simply take a small pot, fill with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Take a small stainless steel mixing bowl and place on top of that small pot (the bottom should not touch the water). Place chocolate in the stainless bowl and stir regularly until totally melted.
• Pour cereal and peanuts into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate on top and mix well with a spatula or large spoon. Mix very well to distribute chocolate evenly.
• Spread the coated mixture onto wax paper to dry/harden. It will take about 2 hours or more to totally dry. I tend to make mine at night and let cool overnight or else you will be tempted to eat it before its 'ready'! When its 'ready', it will be clumped together in large chunks that you will need to break apart into bite sized pieces - or leave in semi large chunks and let people break off what they want to eat.

• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Put all the ingredients (except the apricots, sultanas and sweets) in a large bowl. Stir everything well, then spread out onto two baking trays in an even layer. Put the tray in the oven for 40 mins.
• Leave the granola to cool on the tray, then break it up into small chunks and stir in the sultanas and apricots.
• Put the granola in a jar ready for breakfast. To make it suitable for magic reindeer, put a few spoonfuls into a small paper bag and mix in some sweets.
• Tie with string or a ribbon and add a fun label for Father Christmas to find.

MAGIC REINDEER FOOD

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a resealable plastic bag.
• seal the bag and shake until well- combined.
• when its dark on Christmas eve, sprinkle the magic food on your front lawn to help Santa and his reindeer find your house.
• Makes just enough for all of Santa's reindeer!

REINDEER MUNCH

Steps:

• Stir cereal squares, pretzel sticks, peanuts, and milk chocolate pieces together in a large bowl.
• Melt the vanilla baking chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Drizzle melted chips over cereal mixture. Pour mixture out onto a large piece of aluminum foil and cool for 30 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.
