Nutter Butter Reindeer Cookies
These no-bake cuties turn pantry staples into festive faces with zero stress. Make Nutter Butter reindeer cookies when you want quick charm and a sweet salty bite.
Servings: 32
Ingredients
- 32 mini pretzels
- 64 candy eyes
- 32 red M&Ms or similar red candies
- 1 Package Nutter Butter cookies 16-Ounce
- 1 Cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Break the mini pretzels in half and snap the edges to make the antlers.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir and heat for an additional 30 seconds until melted completely. Next, stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and combine.
- Grab a Nutter Butter cookie and dip the face of the cookie into the melted chocolate. Smooth the chocolate with an icing spatula and place it onto a large tray for decoration. Repeat until all cookies are coated.
- Quickly but carefully add the antler pretzels, edible eyeballs, and nose to the wet chocolate. Once decorated, set the reindeer aside on a cooling rack for at least 1 hour to dry before serving.
Notes
Cut clean antlers: Snap pretzels at the bends for neat branches.
Stage fast: Lay out decorations before dipping so placement is quick.
Thin as needed: Add a tiny splash of oil if the chocolate feels thick.
Anchor the nose: Press the M&M gently so it sinks slightly into the coat.
Chocolate glue: If the chocolate sets before you decorate, rewarm a little chocolate and use it as glue.
