This is MY FAVORITE Christmas Baking Recipe. This will be my fourth year making it.
Reindeer Chow
5 cups Honeycombs Cereal
2 cups Thin Pretzel Sticks (broken in half)
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 (11.5-ounce) package (1 1/2 cups) Real Milk Chocolate Chips
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 cup red and green M & M s
Combine cereal and pretzels in a 4-quart bowl; set aside.
Place butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving until butter and chocolate are melted (15 to 45 seconds). Stir until smooth.
Immediately pour chocolate mixture over cereal in bowl; stir until well coated. Spread mixture evenly into a single layer on two waxed paper-lined cookie sheets.
Refrigerate 20 minutes to set.
Break into bite-size pieces; place half of mixture into two 1-gallon size resealable plastic food bags.
Pour 1/2 cup powdered sugar into each bag; close bags. Shake bags until mixture is well coated. Place 1/2 cup candies in each bag.
Store in sealed bags or airtight container in refrigerator up to 4 weeks.
Makes 9 to 12 cups.
