REINDEER FOOD

Warning: This is very addicitive!! I found this recipe at my in-laws house & thought it sounded good. I was right, it is now a Christmas tradition to make it. You can play around with the ingredients, omitting coconut, using a chocolate flavored cereal instead of the kix cereal. I have only used the vanilla flavored almond bark, but I'm sure that any flavor would be very good.
