To package it all up for the reindeer we poured it into little paint cans from Target add I made fun little printable using, Maree Truelove's new Christmas clip art. These would make a fun treat for teachers, party favors, school parties, or just to set out on Christmas eve!

Here's what your going to need:
5 cups Corn Chex
1 bag Andes peppermint crunch baking chips
2 cups powdered sugar
3 TBS crushed peppermint sticks (optional)
Red sprinkles (optional)
Step 1: Pour powdered sugar into a gallon ziplock bag. Then add in your crushed peppermint and sprinkles if you would like. The sprinkles aren't necessary at all...but here we were improving the brightness of Rudolf's nose :). Just a little fun touch if your making with the kids!
2. Now melt your baking chips. I used my chocolate melter of course, here's more info on melting chocolate if you need it.
Step 3: Once melted, pour of chef mix in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4: Then gently stir. Don't use to much pressure or you'll smash your reindeer food to pieces!
Step 5: Pour about half of your chex mix into the bag, make sure it's sealed really well, then shake, shake, shake! The kids love doing this part!
Step 6: Use a slotted spoon to scoop on the covered mix and place into a second mixing bowl. Then repeat the process with the other half of the chex mix.
My daughter added just a few more sprinkles for good measure.
And the best part is...you don't have to share this with the kids! It is after all for the reindeer :)!
With Sprinkles.
