Over the years our family has left out many different types of Santa Snacks
Cookies, fruit cake, mince tarts; and of course a drink- milk, water, port or even beer if if was particularly hot.
Somewhere along the line we started leaving out treats for the reindeer too. Fair enough, after all they do most of the work, don't they! There's been carrots, apples, oats, oats mixed with glitter, and whatever else was wilting in the bottom of the crisper drawer that mummy thought she wouldn't miss.
Now, it only stands to reason that if food goes in, Something Else must come out. If the Easter Bunny poops out Jelly Beans, then surely something just as delicious must be produced from Reindeer?
After much thought and consultation with Santa, this recipe is pretty close to the real deal. Santa was only prepared to go so far in the interest of the Culinary Arts, and delegated the job of tasting to one of the Elves. He hopes you like it, because it took him hours of following the reindeer to get the scoop on their poop!
