How to Make Reindeer Oreos
Here are the ingredients you need to make these Reindeer Oreo cookies, plus step by step instructions for how to make them.
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo Cookies
- 10 oz package chocolate melting wafers
- 12 small pretzels, broken in half
- 24 candy eyes
- 12 red M&Ms candies
Step by Step Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper so the cookies don’t stick while setting.
2. Gently snap each pretzel in half to create antlers. Set aside.
3. Place the melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
4. Dip one Oreo into the melted chocolate, turning it to coat completely. Lift it out with a fork, let the excess chocolate drip off, and place it on the prepared tray.
5. While the chocolate is still wet, press two pretzel halves at the top of the cookie to form antlers.
6. Add two candy eyes just under the pretzels, then press a red M&M into the center for the nose.
7. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Let the reindeer cookies sit at room temperature for about an hour, or until the chocolate sets.
These Reindeer Oreos aren’t fancy, but that’s the best part – they’re easy, kid-friendly, and always get a smile. They’re the kind of treat you can make ahead or pull together last minute when you need something festive. Whether you’re sharing them at a holiday party or just making them at home for fun, they’re a simple way to add a little cheer to the season.
