Magic Reindeer Food

Reindeer food (also sometimes called Magic Reindeer Food or Magic Reindeer Dust) is for Santa's reindeer. After all, they get hungry on Christmas Eve, too!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2-6 Tbsp red colored sugar
  • 2-6 Tbsp. green colored sugar

Preparation:

  1. Mix the ingredients together and place in a plastic bag, adding as much colored sugar as you like for a festive effect.

  2. Tie with a ribbon and attach the following poem:
    Sprinkle this reindeer food outside tonight.
    The moonlight will make it sparkle bright.
    As the reindeer fly and roam.
    This will guide them to your home.

      Don't forget Santa on Christmas Eve! Make him a batch of tasty Christmas cookies, too!
