Fudge Covered Oreo Reindeer Cookies
Craft these adorable Oreo Reindeer using fudge-covered cookies for a festive and tasty holiday treat. Perfect for gifting or adding a playful touch to your dessert lineup.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 count) packet of Fudge Covered Oreos
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate
- 12 red M&Ms
- 24 candy Eyeballs
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second increments, storing after each interval until smooth.
- Add all but 1 tablespoon of the chocolate to a piping bag fitted with a small tip (I used the Wilton 5 tip).
- Pipe I inch antlers onto the prepared baking sheet. I find it easiest to pipe a ‘Y’ shape, then add another line to each side of the stem of the Y. Refrigerate the antlers for 10-15 minutes or until completely set.
- Arrange the Oreos in a single layer on a baking sheet or platter.
- Microwave the leftover chocolate for 10-20 seconds or until smooth and melted again.
- Use a toothpick to apply a small dab of melted chocolate to the bottom an M&M and attach it to the bottom third of an Oreo to create the nose.
- Apply a small amount of chocolate to two candy eyes and attach them above the nose.
- Finally, spread a small amount of melted chocolate to the back of two chocolate antlers and add them to the top of the cookie to complete the reindeer.
- Repeat with the remaining Oreos. Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to ensure the features are secure before enjoying.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool place for up to two weeks. Be careful if stacking the cookies so that you don't break the chocolate antlers.
- I do not recommend freezing these cookies as the moisture will make the candy eyes run and the M&Ms have a cloudy appearance.
