For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of sea salt or a sprinkle of festive sprinkles before the white chocolate sets. If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning. Feel free to customize the mix with other ingredients like dried cranberries, mini marshmallows, or different types of nuts. Ensure the white chocolate is of good quality for the best melting and flavor results. To prevent the mixture from clumping, work quickly when coating the ingredients with melted white chocolate.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare your workstation by covering a large counter area with waxed paper, securing it with tape to prevent movement. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn an extra-large bowl, gently combine the pretzels, corn cereal, peanuts, and candy-coated milk chocolate pieces. Toss to ensure an even distribution of ingredients. (10 minutes)
03
StepMelt the finely chopped white chocolate using a double boiler method: Place the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir frequently with a rubber spatula, scraping down the sides to prevent burning, until completely smooth and glossy. (15 minutes)
04
StepPour the melted white chocolate over the pretzel mixture, working quickly to coat all the ingredients evenly. Gently fold until everything is well-covered in the luscious white chocolate. (5 minutes)
05
StepImmediately transfer the mixture to the prepared waxed paper, spreading it into a thin, even layer. This helps with cooling and allows for easy breaking later. (5 minutes)
06
StepAllow the coated mixture to cool completely and harden at room temperature, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. For quicker setting, you can refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
07
StepOnce hardened, break the Reindeer Food into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crispness.
