Looking for food ideas

Berkley from The Cove -

Hey guys I am looking for a cute craft/food idea for Christmas. We want to make reindeer food with the young ones on Christmas Eve. Does anyone have any ideas to share?

Comment #1 Goldie from on top of Ol' Smokey! -

What do you mean my reindeer food? You want something you can sprinkle on the ground? Someone once gave me a recipe called "Christmas potpourri". You take rice crispies and color some with red food coloring and the some others with green and add honey so it sticks together.

Comment #2 Cross-Stitch from Stitching -

What a fun idea! Here's what I found.

Help Santa find his way to your house! On Christmas Eve, make sure you leave out some magical reindeer food for the reindeer. That way you can be sure they will stop at your house.

Mix together:

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup instant oatmeal

2 tbsps of glitter* (substitute edible sprinkles if you live in an area with wildlife)

Sprinkle this mixture on your lawn. The reindeer will smell the oatmeal and stop at your house!

*If you live in an area where wild animals live, don't use the glitter. It may harm wild animals.

I saw it as reindeer poop too.

To make this silly stocking stuffer, place a handful of malted milk balls in a zipper food storage bag.

Seal and label with the following poem or print our free Reindeer Poop Gift Tag:

I woke up with such a scare when I heard Santa call...

"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"

I ran to the lawn, and in the snowy white drifts,

those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts".

I got an old shovel and started to scoop

Neat little piles of "reindeer poop."

but to throw them away seemed such a waste,

So I saved them, thinking you might like a taste!

As I finished my task, which took quite a while,

Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.

And I heard him exclaim as he rose to the sky~~~

"Well, they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!"

Assemble in a gift bag, gift mug or small zipper food storage bag:

1 individual pack hot chocolate mix

3 Hershey's chocolate kisses

10-15 mini-marshmallows

small candy cane

Snowman Soup
