Description

These festive Chocolate Covered Oreo Reindeer Cookies are a fun and creative holiday treat featuring double-stuffed Oreos dipped in rich chocolate, decorated with candy eyes, red hot noses, and pretzel antlers. Perfect for holiday parties or gifting, these no-bake cookies combine sweet and salty flavors with a playful reindeer design that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies & Decorations

  • 20 double stuffed Oreo cookies
  • 20 mini twist pretzels, cut in half
  • 1 bag red hots (cinnamon candies)
  • 1 package candy eyes

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 lb chocolate candy coating (chocolate melts or wafers)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pretzel Antlers: Cut the mini twist pretzels in half carefully to create antler shapes and set them aside for later use.
  2. Trim Straws: Cut straws to the desired length and flatten one end of each straw to make it easier to insert into the Oreo cream filling.
  3. Attach Straws to Oreos: Melt the chocolate candy coating in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Dip one flattened end of each straw into the melted chocolate and carefully insert it into the cream center of the Oreo, repeating until all Oreos and straws are assembled.
  4. Chill for Chocolate to Set: Place the Oreo and straw assemblies on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and secure the straws in place.
  5. Dip Oreos in Chocolate: Reheat the melted chocolate if necessary to maintain a smooth consistency. Dip each Oreo cookie into the melted chocolate fully, then scrape one side of the cookie to remove excess chocolate and reveal part of the Oreo surface.
  6. Add Facial Features and Antlers: While the chocolate is still wet, attach two candy eyes and one red hot candy for the nose on each Oreo. Gently press mini pretzel halves on either side of the cookie to form the reindeer’s antlers.
  7. Final Chill: Place the decorated reindeer cookies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely hardened.

Notes

  • Use double stuffed Oreos for a sturdier center to hold the straws.
  • The flattened end of the straw helps keep it securely embedded in the Oreo cream without breaking the cookie.
  • Reheat the chocolate coating as needed to maintain a smooth dipping texture.
  • Red Hots can be substituted with other small red candies for the nose if preferred.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
