Reindeer Oreos Christmas Treats!
One of our favorite Christmas traditions is to build a Gingerbread House together. One year I had a busted finger so two of my fingers were taped together – it was quite inconvenient and awkward! It was a struggle putting the icing where it needed to be so my husband offered to help. I was shocked at how well he can pipe icing! Impressed, actually. I have officially turned the icing job over to him for good!
Once he realized he wasn’t so bad at it he got brave and decided to decorate a Gingerbread Man. My jaw dropped at his revealing! It was so cute! I was so elated over this new found talent of his! It’s true that we are never too old to try new things.
Speaking of trying new things, I think it would be fun to try making some new and fun things in the kitchen with your kids this Christmas, like these No Bake Reindeer Oreo Cookies!
As my husband was passing through the kitchen he offered to put them on the deck for me. As he was setting them outside he was talking to the reindeer treats as if they had just landed on the roof telling them not to fly away because they needed to go to school with our son! We got a good laugh out of it.
Why this Recipe Works:
- No Baking Required – A simple chocolate coating transforms store bought Oreos into adorable holiday treats in minutes.
- Easy Enough for Kids to Help Make – From placing the candy eyes to adding the Rudolph noses, little hands can join in the holiday fun.
- Great Make Ahead Treat – The chocolate coating hardens beautifully, making these cookies easy to store and transport for holiday events.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups Chocolate Almond Bark (Melted) – Creates a smooth chocolate coating that helps transform ordinary Oreos into festive reindeer treats. It also acts as the ‘glue’ that holds the decorations in place.
- 15 Oreos – The base of the recipe. These sandwich cookies provide a rich chocolate flavor and the perfect canvas for decorating.
- 30 Mini-Pretzels – Used to create the reindeer’s antlers. Their crunchy texture and natural shape make them ideal for this fun holiday design.
- 30 Candy Eyes – Bring each reindeer to life with an adorable expression and make the cookies instantly recognizable.
- 15 Red M&M’s – Serves as Rudolph inspired noses, adding a pop of festive color and a sweet chocolate crunch to every cookie.
How to Make No Bake Reindeer Oreo Cookies
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt 2 cups chocolate almond bark in the microwave, stirring in 30 second intervals.
- Once the almond bark is melted and smooth, place an Oreo into it. Cover it with melted almond bark, don’t stir it around. That will leave Oreo crumbs.
- Tap the Oreo on the side of the bowl with a fork to shake off access and place on the parchment paper.
- Set 2 mini-pretzels on the top of the Oreo for antlers, 2 candy eyes beneath them, and finish by placing a red M&M beneath the eyes for the nose.
My Best Tips:
- Use a Fork for Dipping – A fork makes it easy to coat the Oreos in melted almond bark while allowing excess coating to drip off for a smoother finish.
- Prepare Decorations in Advance – Having the pretzels, candy eyes, and M&M’s ready before dipping the Oreos makes assembly much easier and faster.
- Break Pretzels Carefully – If you’d like, you can break each pretzel in half to make it look more like an authentic antler.
- Reindeer Oreo Cookie Pop – If you are feeling fancy, you can put a stick through the cream center of the Oreo to make it a cookie pop!
- Perfect for Holiday Gifting – Package these adorable cookies in festive treat bags or holiday tins for an easy homemade Christmas gift!
