There are some really gorgeous edible gift ideas for Christmas. This is our cheeky version. The kids will love giving these to friends and family for a little Christmas giggle. Reindeer Poop is made of dried fruit and rolled in coconut then popped in a bag, jar or box – you can use our free gift tag printable to print, cut, and stick, paste or tie.

Tips:

• Experiment with your favourite dried fruit.
• If eating the reindeer poop right away, consider filling the centre with a raspberry or blueberry. The burst of fresh fruit would be delicious!

Nutrition Note:  Santa’s reindeer munch mostly on plant food (carrots, leafy greens, apples and water are high up on the menu during their Christmas Eve journey), so its only natural they leave behind little bites full of goodness.
