Ingredients
36 Oreo cookies
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
24 oz. chocolate almond bark
About 40 pretzels, you will need extras in case some break when making the antlers
32 red M&Ms
64 candy eyeballs
Instructions
- In a food processor, blitz the oreo cookies to crumbs.
- Mix in the cream cheese until well combined.
- Roll the oreo and cream cheese mixture into 1 inch balls. Set onto a sturdy cutting board or a baking sheet with parchment.
- After all of the mixture is rolled, move the Oreo balls to the refrigerator to set for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, break the pretzels into your antler shapes by breaking each side away from the center of the pretzel.
- After the Oreo balls set, melt the almond bark by microwaving for 30 second increments, stirring well in between.
- Cover the Oreo balls in the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip away.
- Place back onto the parchment, and quickly decorate with and M&M nose, eyes, and carefully press two pretzel halves into the tops. **You may need to let the chocolate set for just a few seconds. If the M&M or eyes try to slide off, let the chocolate set just a bit before attaching.
- Repeat for each Oreo ball. Then, let them sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set completely.
