Reindeer Dessert

Posted on November 10, 2016 by Kerry

Reindeer Dessert is a snack mix that is perfect for parties. It is a mix of popcorn, pretzels and candy. The mix of flavors and textures makes for a party in your mouth.

About once a month, my girlfriend and I get together for coffee. We try recipes out on each other. If it’s a flop, it’s completely ok. However, rarely do we have flops.  For our upcoming Christmas party, I didn’t want to make any new recipes without testing them first. You get the benefit of the best of my testing. Reindeer Dessert is another recipe I’m testing for the party.  It is a really good one.

Our party isn’t going to be super fancy, but I want it to have good food. This snack mix works perfectly for that.  It has a great mixture of flavor and texture.  Chocolate, salt, and sweet. Soft of the melting candy, crunch from the m&m’s and a softer crunch from the popcorn.
