Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your reindeer dust. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. Some popular options include crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, and dried fruit.
  • Make sure your reindeer dust is completely dry before storing it: If your reindeer dust is not completely dry, it will clump together and become difficult to use.
