Gluten Free Reindeer Feed The peppermint makes this recipe. I split the 6 cups of Chex cereal between the Rice and Chocolate Chex which I liked better because the Chocolate Chex alone seemed overpowering. Everyone who tried this liked the cereal and candy combination. I also made the bags but used burlap instead. I increased the size of the bags from 5" to 6" and the recipe filled 5 bags.
