Reindeer Bait is a delicious no-bake treat that the kids can help make and then devour!
I’m a big fan of snack mixes for the holidays, especially with kids running around, and this Reindeer Bait is another quick and easy treat you can make this holiday season. Like the Snowman Truffles I posted a couple of days ago, this recipe only needs a few easy ingredients, and it’s also no-bake! That means you can throw everything in a bowl together with melted candy coating, mix it up, spread it out and chill to firm up, and it’s ready to break up and eat!
And the kids can help with this one, too! Add sprinkles before you toss it in the fridge to make it extra festive, and the candy coating holds it all together so you don’t have to worry so much about crumbs being strewn all over as the kids run around eating it. I mean, maybe your kids are more refined and actually sit at the table and eat, but if they’re anything like the ones running around my house, they’re either on the couch or running amok and eating as they go!
