Reindeer Poop Recipe
It's so simple, even a five-year-old can do it! (And that's about the age that really enjoys it!)
Ok, parents, so it's Christmas time again and you need a quick, fun and very easy craft for the kiddies. Let's make reindeer poop! I know, I know - it sounds disgusting, and no adult in their self-respecting mind would stoop to something so childish, but, hey, Christmas IS for kids, right? So here's your recipe:1 Package of malted milk balls, Milk Duds, or other chocolate candy
1 plastic baggie
1 reindeer poop poem (see below)
Take the package of candy and pour into the bag. Seal the bag. Print the poem and attach it to the bag. (See? Didn't I tell you this would be easy?)
If you really want to make it more difficult, you can use this reindeer poop recipe to bake some treats rather than using packaged candy.
What Goes In, Must Come Out
Candy poop must come from candy corn
Jelly Belly Reindeer Corn

What makes Santa's magic reindeer fly? It must be the special corn they eat! And if they leave candy poop, it only makes sense they must be eating magic candy corn, like this tri-colored reindeer corn from Jelly Belly. It's your favorite Halloween treat in special Christmas colors.
(Disclaimer: product will not allow user to fly like Santa's reindeer.)
Reindeer Poop Poem
Your gag gift isn't complete without this
I woke with such a fright when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts."
I got an old shovel and started to scoop
neat little piles of reindeer poop!
But to throw them away seemed such a waste,
so I saved them, thinking-you might like a taste!
As I finished my task, which took quite awhile,
Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he sped off in the sky...
"Well they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!"

Listen closely on Christmas Eve
and maybe you'll hear.
While Santa leaves gifts
tied with ribbons and bows
the reindeer leave droppings
in neat little rows.
Santa checked his list not once, but twice
and found you've been naughty, and not very nice.
Since coal is expensive, here's the scoop -
he's filled your stocking with reindeer poop!
I heard you've been naughty,
so here's the scoop.
All you get for Christmas this year
is reindeer poop.
