Here is how to make easy no bake reindeer cookies from just a handful of snacking ingredients - Nutter Butter cookies are enrobed in chocolate, then studded with pretzel antlers and candy pieces for the eyes and nose. Serve them at Christmas parties or make them for fun with your little helpers this holiday season!
Servings: 12 to 14 cookies
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
You will need
• 12 to 14 Nutter Butter cookies
• 10 oz milk chocolate melting wafers
• 24 to 28 edible candy eyes
• 20 mini pretzels (includes extra incase some break)
• 12 to 14 mini Reese’s cups
• 12 to 14 red M&M’s
First, take the pretzels and break them in half to create antlers. Then set aside.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Use a fork to lift it out and gently tap off the excess.
While the chocolate is still wet, add two candy eyes near the top of the cookie.
Place a mini Reese’s cup (flat side down) toward the bottom half of the cookie.
Dip an M&M in melted chocolate and press it onto the Reese’s cup for the nose. Dip the bottom ends of two pretzel halves into chocolate, then press them onto the sides of the cookie to make antlers.
Allow cookies to set until the chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.
Tips and tricks! Dip and complete them one by one and work quickly while decorating so the chocolate doesn’t harden before attaching the pieces.
You could try making an assortment of dark chocolate and milk chocolate reindeer cookies for a standout display!
For younger ones, try swapping the candy eyes/nose out with edible wafer decorations to make them non chokeable.
