Oreo Reindeer
Description
This recipe assembles Oreo cookies into reindeer-shaped treats by inserting lollipop sticks into each cookie, then dipping them in melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. The pretzels serve as antlers, stuck into the soft chocolate before it sets, while red candy Smarties represent noses, and edible eyes are placed on the face to complete the look. Once decorated, the cookies are chilled briefly to set the chocolate.
The chocolate coating adds a rich layer over the crunchy Oreo, and the pretzels provide a salty crunch that contrasts the sweet components. The small parts adhere well due to the melted chocolate's sticky surface, making the decoration stable after refrigeration.
These Oreo Reindeer make creative party snacks or festive gifts during the holiday season. Using different chocolate types or colorful decorations can personalize their look. Note that the recipe uses colored candy Smarties common in certain regions rather than the tablet candy bearing the same name.
Ingredients
- 100 g chocolate
- 6 Oreo cookies
- 12 pretzels
- 6 Smarties red
- 12 edible eyes
- 6 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Put 100 g Chocolate into a bowl and melt, either in the microwave or on a bain marie.
- Carefully push 6 Lollipop sticks into 6 Oreo cookies.
- Coat the Oreos in the melted chocolate.
- Carefully insert 12 Pretzels into the Oreos (two per Oreo).
- Add 6 Smarties and 12 Edible eyes to the Oreos. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals to prevent it from seizing and ensure smooth melting.
- If edible eyes are unavailable, use white chocolate chips with small dark chocolate dots to mimic eyes.
- Try variations with white Oreos and white chocolate coating, adding colorful decorations for a different festive appearance.
- In the US, use candy-coated chocolate candies like M&Ms for the noses, as the Smarties candy mentioned differs regionally.
