Magic Reindeer Mix

Really, the reindeers love this! The glitter is the “magic” ingredient!  And so do Santa’s elves, if you leave the glitter out! 

You'll need: 
4 cups corn cereal squares,
2 cups dry roasted peanuts,
1 cup orange and cranberry dried fruit bits or raisins or dried cranberries,
1 cup tropical mixed dried fruit,
2 cups yogurt covered raisins,
Glitter.  

Combine all ingredients.  Place in decorated bags or jars and put out with Santa’s cookies for the reindeer!   Tip: To make Santa’s tracks:  Dust the bottoms of a pair of boots with powder or flour. Make tracks with the boots on the floor.  Watch the little ones’ eyes’ almost pop when they see “Santa’s tracks”!
