What I'm Reminiscing About...
Every 2 years we go to an event in Shreveport called Christmas In The Sky...it is a big fundraiser for our regional arts council. I loved this dress and it was a wonderful evening. They rent out a local casino and have 3 floors of entertainment, food, drinks and auction items. They then have a huge live auction.
What I'm Loving....It's Christmas week!!! Give me all the Hallmark Christmas movies, cozy nights in and cooler weather.
What We've Been Up To..
Christmas wrapping, Christmas Shopping and baking...I made reindeer chow for our employees and it is sooo yummy!!
Reindeer Chow
No holiday party is complete without a big bowl of reindeer chow! This Christmas chex mix is loaded with chocolate flavor and is perfect for feeding a crowd.

Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

- 1 bag Christmas M&M's
- 2 cups mini peanut butter cups
- 2 cups pretzel twists
Instructions
- Place the cereal in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave the chocolate mixture for 30 second intervals until melted; stir until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and use a spatula to gently toss the cereal in the chocolate until completely coated.
- Place the brownie mix inside a resealable gallon sized plastic bag. Add the chocolate coated cereal. Seal, then shake until cereal is coated in the brownie mix.
- Spread the cereal out in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper; cool completely until dry.
- Combine the cereal, M&M's, peanut butter cups and pretzel twists, then serve.
Recipe Notes
To make this reindeer chow peanut free, use white candy melts instead of peanut butter in the chex and swap out the peanut butter cups for mini marshmallows.
