Description
A blend of sweet, salty, and nutty flavors, this Cozy Gluten Free Reindeer Chow is perfect for festive gatherings and creates wonderful memories with loved ones.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups gluten-free cereal (such as Chex or puffed rice)
- 1 cup nuts (your choice, like almonds or cashews)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free for an allergen-friendly option)
- 1 cup gluten-free pretzels
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles (optional, for a festive touch)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cereal, nuts, and pretzels.
- In a saucepan over low heat, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the warm mixture over the cereal blend and stir gently until everything is coated evenly.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips so they partially melt, creating a delightful creamy swirl.
- Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sift powdered sugar over the top, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely. Once set, break into pieces and sprinkle with sprinkles if desired.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
Notes
For the best results, ensure to keep the heat low when melting the peanut butter and syrup to avoid burning. Letting the mixture cool completely before breaking it helps set the texture perfectly.
