Description
These adorable Reindeer Nutter Butter Cookies are a festive no-bake treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat! With chocolate-dipped cookies decorated with candy eyes, pretzel antlers, and bright red M&M noses, they’re the perfect holiday treat!
Ingredients
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
Instructions
- Break the pretzels in half to create antlers. 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.
Notes
Note: Work quickly while decorating so the chocolate doesn’t harden before attaching the pieces.
Storage Instructions: Once the chocolate has firmed up, store cookies in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
