Just like those white collar execs, Santa gets most of the credit for what happens on Christmas Eve. But in the big man’s shadow are his eight tiny reindeer that are out there hoofing it. And they deserve a little gratitude too. Here are a few reindeer recipes for your kids to show their thanks. One is strictly for reindeer and the other one we can eat too!

Reindeer Munchies
These are addictive and delicious. You can leave a bowl of it out with Santa’s cookies or you can just make it as a snack and tell the kids that this is what reindeer eat!
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Crispix cereal
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 12 oz chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar (1/2 cup or more to taste)
Directions:
- Melt chocolate chips on low. Once melted, add peanut butter, mixing well.
- Once a little cool, pour over Crispix cereal. (Pretty much the same idea as rice krispie treats, but different ingredients).
- Let sit for about 5 minutes and put the mixture into a ziploc bag that contains the powdered sugar and shake to cover the cereal.
