To make these reindeer treats, you'll need 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. These crispy rice cereal pieces will add a nice crunch to your treats and are a staple ingredient in many holiday recipes.
1/4 cup of butter is needed to bind the Rice Krispies together and give them a rich and buttery flavor. You can use either salted or unsalted butter, depending on your preference.
Next, you'll need 4 cups of mini marshmallows. These fluffy and sweet marshmallows will help create the perfect texture for your reindeer treats.
To give your treats a festive reindeer touch, you'll need some mini pretzels to use as antlers. You can also use pretzel sticks and break them in half to create antlers if you can't find mini pretzels.
To bring your reindeer treats to life, you'll need some candy eyes and red M&Ms. You can find these at most baking supply stores or online. If you can't find candy eyes, you can use chocolate chips instead.
1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and well combined.
2. Remove the saucepan from heat and add in the Rice Krispies. Stir until all the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture.
3. Using a greased spatula or your hands, press the mixture into a greased 9x9 inch pan. Let it cool for a few minutes.
4. Cut the treats into squares and place two mini pretzels at the top of each square to create antlers.
5. Use some melted chocolate or frosting to stick on the candy eyes and red M&Ms for the nose.
6. Let the treats set for at least 30 minutes before serving or packaging them as gifts.
These adorable and delicious treats are perfect for any holiday celebration. They are also a great activity to do with kids, as they can help decorate the reindeer faces. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to spread some holiday cheer with these tasty Christmas reindeer treats. Happy holidays!
