Hey friends I’m excited to announce that I have teamed up with 29 crazy talented and creative bloggers to share some awesome neighbor gift ideas. Be sure to check out all the fun quick and easy neighbor gift ideas below and visit everyone’s blogs for more details.
For my contribution to the neighbor gift fun I made a SUPER easy and cute treat! I call it Reindeer Bait and it’s easy enough that you can get the kiddos involved in whipping up a batch!
Reindeer Bait Snack Mix Recipe
Ingredients
- Flat Pretzels
- White Chocolate or White Candy Melts
- Crisco
- Red, White and Green Sprinkles
- Mini Candy Canes
Melt the chocolate/candy melts with a small amount of crisco in the microwave. I do about 1 C of melts to 1 tsp crisco. Zap for 30 seconds then stir and then zap/stir in increments of 10 seconds until the melts are 80% melted. At that point you just want to stir until they all melt or else you run the risk of scorching them. Then just dip an edge of the pretzel in and while the candy is still wet lay on some wax paper and shake on the sprinkles. I like to line a jellyroll pan with wax paper to minimize the amount of stray sprinkles.
Add a few mini candy canes throw it in a cute box or bag tie it with a bow and you’ve got a quick and easy neighbor gift, or treat if you’re entertaining! Now don’t forget about all the other awesome neighbor gift ideas from my blogger friends!
