Is this Reindeer Chow really gluten-free?

Yes, as long as you choose certified gluten-free versions of Chex cereal, pretzels, and sprinkles. Always double-check labels to avoid hidden gluten ingredients or cross-contamination warnings.

Can I make this Reindeer Chow vegan and dairy-free?

You can absolutely make it vegan and dairy-free. Just use a dairy-free white chocolate (plenty are available in stores or online) and ensure your sprinkles and add-ins are free from animal products. Coconut oil is naturally vegan, so no changes needed there.
