Notes

Tip
Be sure to use edible glitter (the sort that you can decorate cakes with) as craft glitter can be harmful to wildlife.
Tip
If Christmas Eve is damp, sprinkle your Magic reindeer food on grass, not a pathway or paved area as the rain could turn your glittery oat mix into porridge!
Variation
If you prefer, add bird seed and small diced carrots to the oats instead of the edible glitter.
Storage
Store in a sealed bag at room temperature until Christmas Eve.
