Reindeer Chow Instructions

  1. Start by combining the Chex cereal and pretzel pieces in a large bowl.
  2. Next, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a separate bowl. You can do this either on the stovetop or in the microwave. (If you’re melting the ingredients in the microwave, make sure to do so in thirty-second intervals until it has adequately melted.)
  3. Next, pour the peanut butter and chocolate mixture over the cereal and pretzels. Stir until each piece is thoroughly covered.
  4. Then, chill it in the refrigerator for about thirty minutes until the mixture is just about to set. Remove it from the refrigerator and sprinkle powdered sugar on top, gently incorporating it until it’s evenly distributed throughout the chow.
  5. Finally, add the M&Ms, walnuts, and peanut butter cups and stir to combine.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl and set it out for everyone to enjoy!
