EASY REINDEER FOOD

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate - you could use the microwave but I find it smoother and less likely to burn by creating my own double boiler. Simply take a small pot, fill with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Take a small stainless steel mixing bowl and place on top of that small pot (the bottom should not touch the water). Place chocolate in the stainless bowl and stir regularly until totally melted.
• Pour cereal and peanuts into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate on top and mix well with a spatula or large spoon. Mix very well to distribute chocolate evenly.
• Spread the coated mixture onto wax paper to dry/harden. It will take about 2 hours or more to totally dry. I tend to make mine at night and let cool overnight or else you will be tempted to eat it before its 'ready'! When its 'ready', it will be clumped together in large chunks that you will need to break apart into bite sized pieces - or leave in semi large chunks and let people break off what they want to eat.

MAGIC REINDEER FOOD

• We mixed it all together in a gallon sized freezer bag.

• Then on Christmas eve, just as the sun started to go down, we take it outside and sprinkle in the front yard.
• Make sure to sprinkle it all. (I suppose the more you use the prettier it would be when the moon light hits it, but it sure was pretty on top of the snow!).
• (Merry Christmas).

Spread on foil or wax paper & let cool in refrigerator. Break apart into bite size pieces & store in airtight container. **I find this easier to mix up if you divide recipe in half and make half a batch at a time.

REINDEER FOOD FOR SANTA'S EIGHT PALS

Steps:

• Gather any and all children (from 2 to 90) around the kitchen table. Assemble all the ingredients.

• Go outside (put on a coat if it is below 55 degrees; boots, if it is snowing!) and sprinkle reindeer food on the lawn where Santa's eight friends will be sure to see it.
• This food will fill their tummies and give them extra energy to lift off again after Santa has eaten all the milk and cookies you left for him inside.

REINDEER FOOD FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 30 x 20 x 5cm deep baking tray and line with with baking parchment. Tip the butter, sugar and golden syrup into a large pan and melt over a medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Add the oats, pumpkin seeds, cranberries and carrot, and stir until well-combined. Tip into the baking tray and smooth the surface with the back of a wooden spoon so it reaches the edges of the tray.
• Bake for 25 mins until lightly golden. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then cut into 14 even-sized rectangles and leave to cool completely in the tray. Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Best eaten within five days. To serve, drizzle with extra golden syrup and top with festive sprinkles, if using.
