Reindeer Chow - Don't forget to feed Santa's Reindeer with this easy chow mix recipe made with Chex cereal, peanut butter and white chocolate peppermint candies. This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Glad & M&M’S®. All opinions are 100% mine.
I can't believe it's less than two weeks until Christmas! I have been very busy getting everything in order, but I'm still nowhere near finished. I still have loved ones to buy presents for, gifts to wrap and a holiday feast to plan! The one thing I have managed to do is make up a couple of batches of Christmas goodies with baking supplies I found at Target.
Target has some exclusive M&M’S® Holiday recipes featured on the back of the Target exclusive Glad Holiday packaging (each recipe is designed to fit within the Glad container that features the recipe!). I picked up a package of Glad's Holiday Edition "Big Bowls" with a recipe for M&M's Chocolate Espresso Peppermint Bites on the back. The combination of chocolate, peppermint and espresso sounded divine, so I thought I would make a batch to give to my daughter's teachers (who all happen to be coffee addicts, like myself!).
While I was picking up my M&M's Holiday Baking Minis for the recipe, another bag of M&M's caught my eye— M&M’S® White Chocolate Peppermint are another Target exclusive, and I just couldn't resist! With these, I decided to make a special mix of Reindeer Chow for Santa's reindeer who stop by on Christmas Eve.
