Reindeer Rice Krispie Treats
These reindeer squares bring instant holiday cheer. A cocoa cereal base gets pressed in a pan, then you add candy eyes, bright noses and tiny pretzel antlers. The method is quick, the look is adorable and the flavor hits that sweet salty spot.
Servings: 12
Equipment
- Spatula or Wooden Spoon
- Baking Dish 9 x 13-Inch
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Cocoa Pebbles
- ½ Bag mini marshmallows
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- chocolate candies such as peanut butter M&Ms
- 1 Cup itty bitty mini pretzels
- 24 candy eyes
- ¼ Cup chocolate chips for melting
Instructions
- Melt the ¼ cup of chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 second intervals.
- In a medium sized pan over low heat, melt the marshmallows and butter together, stirring frequently until there are no lumps.
- Remove from the heat, and add the Cocoa Pebbles.
- Fold in the cereal until all of it is coated in the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and press it evenly. You can butter the pan slightly to make them easier to remove later.
- While the treats are still warm, dip the back half of the eyes, M&Ms and pretzels in the melted chocolate so they will stick to the cereal.
- Place the eyes, M&M’s and pretzels to arrange a face. Space all of the add-ins so that you will have 3 reindeer across and 4 down. There will be 12 total.
- Once the bars are cooled, slice them, making sure to leave space around the pretzels.
Notes
Work fast: Decorate while the surface is warm so pieces stick properly.
Grease tools: Lightly butter your hands or a spatula to press without sticking.
Score first: Lightly score the slab before adding faces to guide even spacing.
Tidy details: Use a toothpick to nudge eyes and noses into perfect position.
