Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 8 cups Chex Mix Make sure it's certified gluten-free
  • 4 cups Popcorn Use freshly popped or your favorite flavor
  • 3 cups Pretzels Choose gluten-free pretzels if needed
  • 1 cup Dry Roasted Peanuts Optional due to nut allergies
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Dairy-Free White Chocolate Essential for sweet coating
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil Use refined for no coconut flavor
For Festive Touches
  • 0.5 cup Christmas Sprinkles Optional for colorful flair

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex Mix, popcorn, pretzels, and dry roasted peanuts. Gently toss until evenly distributed.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free white chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
  3. Pour the melted mixture over the Chex Mix blend. Gently fold in the white chocolate until every piece is well-coated.
  4. Fold in the Christmas sprinkles or other toppings gently to avoid breaking.
  5. Spread the coated mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until hardened.
  6. Once set, break the Reindeer Chow into clusters and store in an airtight container.
