Ingredients

  • 18 oblong peanut butter sandwich cookies Nutter Butters
  • 1 cup of white melting wafers
  • 1 cup of milk chocolate flavored melting wafers
  • Mini pretzel twists
  • Candy eyeballs or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Melt the milk chocolate flavored wafers in a heatproof bowl either in the microwave (per the package instructions) or over a pan of barely simmering water. 
  • Stir until the melts are completely melted and smooth. 
  • Repeat the same steps with the white melting wafers in a separate heat safe dish.
  • Line a sheet pan or cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper. 
  • To make the reindeer, place two pretzels side by side--into an antler shape-on the parchment paper.
  • *If you wanted to keep your pretzels in place, you could put a little dollop of candy melt on the parchment paper and set the antlers on top, to kind of "glue them" into position. But this is totally optional!
  • Drop a Nutter Butter into the melted candy coating and using a fork, flip around until the cookie is coated completely.
  • Lift the peanut butter cookie out with the fork and allow the excess candy coating to drip off. 
  • Gently place the peanut butter cookie on top of your pretzels. The pretzels may shift a little, but that's ok (see above note for "gluing" them in place). Slide them back into place to get the antler shape you desire.
  • Add the candy eyeballs or the mini chocolate chips slightly above the center or "waist" of the Nutter Butter cookie.
  • Place a red M&M or any red candy right at the bottom tip of the cookie for the nose.
  • Now you have a reindeer!
  • Repeat the above steps until you run out of eyeballs, cookies and/or candy melts. Once all the reindeer are made, pop them in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to set.
  • Serve your Peanut Butter Reindeer Cookies in a single layer on a festive platter and enjoy!
