How to make Reindeer Food SNACK MIX

Step One: prepare the ingredients.

In an extra-large bowl, combine together the cereal, pretzels and peanuts.
Give the mix a quick shake to mix them us but, without however breaking any of the cereal and pretzels.

Prep a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step Two: melt the white melting wafers.

Melt the white wafers according the instructions on the packaging.
I like to place the melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup and microwave.
Stop the microwave every thirty seconds to stir.
When the white wafers are melted (about a minute and a half) pour in over the mixture in the bowl.
Stir the ingredients gently.

Transfer your ingredients to the prepared baking sheet, but, evenly distributing everything.

Step Three: decorate and serve.

Melt your green wafers as indicated on the packaging.
Then you can place the melted wafers in a piping bag when cool enough and decorate the the mix.
If you do not have a piping bag however, simply use a large zip top bag and cut the corner.
You can then sprinkle the toppings over the mixture.

Allow this to sit for 45 minutes to set before serving.
