Reindeer Snack Mix + Printable Recipe Card
Making Reindeer Snack Mix is Easy!
Once you’ve melted the chocolate and peanut butter, add in the cocoa and sugar and spread it out on parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely before adding the remaining ingredients.
While it’s cooling, chop up an assortment of candy bars into small pieces. I used Snickers Bars, Twix, and Kit Kat, but any of your favorite candy bars would be good to use.
