Christmas Candy - Reindeer Chow

This is chocolate covered Crispix cereal and is super easy to make. My children call it puppy chow, but at Christmas time it was suggested we call it reindeer chow instead!

Ingredients:

box of Crispix cereal
small bag of chocolate chips (I forget the ounces, but it's smaller than the 24 oz bag, maybe 16?)
1/2 cup peanut butter
powdered sugar

The original recipe I had said to use "half a bag of choc chips" and "half the box of Crispix", but we doubled it because it was easier to use the whole bag or box, and that meant we made more each time! In doing this, however, it is important to add the Crispix to the chocolate/peanut butter mixture in stages and stir each portion well so that all the Crispix pieces are covered with chocolate. If you just dump the whole box in it will be very hard to mix up.

First, melt the choc chips in the microwave for one minute. Stir them up and melt for one minute more. Stir them up again.


Add 1/2 cup peanut butter, stir again, and then start adding your Crispix.



Put portions in a large ziploc, dump in some powdered sugar, and shake to coat. You should do this step in stages too, to make sure that all the chocolate covered Crispix is coated with powdered sugar.


Voila! Reindeer chow! It is *so* good and fun to munch on!
