Chex Mix Reindeer Chow Recipe

Looking for a fun and colorful snack idea for the holidays? Muddy Buddies Chex Mix Reindeer Chow is super easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. Plus, if you have little ones around, they will love helping out making this dish.

Even better, it’s a pretty affordable snack, and perfect to snack on while watching sports, Holiday movies, or for family game night. (You’ll want napkins on hand though!) It’s always a hit at parties, and it’s so festive – making for a great gift idea when packaged in clear bags with ribbon!

While the original recipe does call for Chex Rice Cereal, you can swap out for wheat chex or corn chex if you prefer. You can also swap out your chocolate for milk chocolate or even white chocolate if you don’t care for dark chocolate. (you can even use chocolate chips if you prefer!). I’ve actually made this recipe with peanut butter chips and it was fantastic!

I think this year I may also make a batch with butterscotch chips just to shake things up a bit!

It’s almost October, and if you are looking for a fun dessert idea, check out these Fun  Spider Cookies!

They are pretty cute with their big eyes, and you can use your favorite homemade cookies for the base. Or, use store bought cookie dough if you prefer. While you can use ANY flavor of cookie, you will want to use one that compliments the Reese’s peanut butter cup body of the spider.

Chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter or even sugar cookies work very well as the base cookie.

These super cute cookies make for a fun activity for little ones too! And, they make for nice little gifts for teachers, neighbors, or anyone you want to spread some Halloween fun too!

And, you could also make these for a creepy-crawly themed birthday party. How fun would that be? These are such easy cookies to make too!

Nutter Butter Acorn Cookie Recipe

November 1st is when a lot of folks switch gears and start thinking about Thanksgiving and pulling out all the stops on Fall desserts and treats. We love Autumn around here, so these fun Nutter Butter Acorn cookies are a popular dessert for us this time of year!

They are super easy to make and so cute! Plus it’s a fun way for little ones to get in some kitchen time and help :). 

You only need a few ingredients, and they don’t take long at all to make. These would also make for cute little gifts for teachers, neighbors, or even your favorite delivery driver! Just put a few in a plastic bag and tie with Fall colored ribbon.

These would also be great at Thanksgiving for little ones that may not be fond of pie! I love that you can easily adjust the recipe based on how many “acorns” you want to make. 

Served up with a glass of milk or a hot beverage of choice and you have a nice little pick me up on a chilly day, or a fun after school snack!
