Description

Reindeer Poop Snack Mix is a delightful and easy-to-make treat featuring crunchy Corn Pops cereal coated in a luscious mixture of melted peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate, and a hint of honey, then dusted with cocoa powder and powdered sugar for a sweet, festive finish. Perfect for holiday gatherings or a fun snack, this no-bake recipe comes together quickly with simple ingredients and minimal preparation.

Ingredients

Scale

Snack Mix

  • 6 cups Corn Pops cereal or similar cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey

Coating

  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to allow the coated cereal to set later.
  2. Melt chocolate mixture: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vegetable oil. Heat on half power for one minute, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second increments at half power, stirring after each, until the mixture forms a smooth chocolate sauce, about 2-3 minutes total.
  3. Add honey and coat cereal: Stir the honey into the melted chocolate mixture. Add about two cups of the Corn Pops cereal to the bowl and mix well to coat. Continue adding the cereal in two-cup increments, stirring thoroughly each time until all cereal is evenly coated.
  4. Mix dry coating: In a large container or a gallon-size resealable bag, combine the cocoa powder and powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
  5. Coat the cereal with dry mixture: Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the container with the cocoa-powder mixture. Seal the container tightly and shake vigorously until all the cereal pieces are fully coated with the dry mix.
  6. Set and serve: Pour the coated cereal mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the coating to set. Once set, transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy your festive snack mix!

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest coating.
  • Microwave heating times may vary; adjust as needed to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • Shake the coated cereal well to get an even dusting of the cocoa powder and powdered sugar mixture.
  • Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • This treat contains nuts and is not suitable for those with peanut allergies.
