Reindeer Food + A Free Printable

One of my kids favorite after school snacks is popcorn.

I make them popcorn several times a week & around holidays we make "festive" popcorn with m&m's, sprinkles and mix it with melted white chocolate & peanut butter. 

I have a Valentine version HERE and an Easter version HERE.

The kids love making Christmas cookies for friends & family, and this year they asked if we could make a Reindeer food for their friends.

We decided to make our White Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn, but give it a Christmas theme and call it Reindeer food:

Here is what you need:

- 2 packages of microwave popcorn (I used homestyle because it isn't too buttery)
- 12 oz of White Chocolate Chips or White Almond Bark
-  1/2 cup Peanut Butter (I use Skippy Natural)
- Christmas M&M's
-Christmas Sprinkles

Pop 2 bags of Microwave Popcorn & pour them into a bowl (let cool for 10-15 minutes)
***Make sure you get all the un-popped kernels out of the bag***

While your Popcorn is cooling, heat up your white chocolate/almond bark in the microwave or in a double boiler. I heated mine in the microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between.

Then add the 1/2 cup peanut putter to the melted white chocolate & stir. You might want to heat it up for another 15-30 seconds at 50% power:

 When your popcorn is cooled, add the m&ms & sprinkles to the popcorn. I used about 1 1/2 cups of m&ms 

 

 Then pour the white chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the popcorn, sprinkles and m&m's and stir it all together.

Lay down a piece of wax paper & spread the popcorn on wax paper.

Then, I slide the wax paper onto a cookie sheet & then put it in the fridge for an hour.

After it's chilled, I then put it in an airtight container.

Of course, I had to make a printable to go with it because I love making printables :)
We gave these to friends over the weekend.

You need the printable....I printed it on brown paper:

You could also print on white, but I liked the way the brown looks.

I found these cute Reindeer cartons at CVS & they are perfect for Reindeer food.

We added some "Reindeer Food" to a ziplock sandwich bag (so it stays fresher) and then put it in the carton:

We wrote on the labels, cut them out & then attached them to the top with some washi tape.

I think they turned out so cute!
My kids loved putting these together.

We hope you love making these (and eating) this Reindeer Food as much as we do!
