Reindeer Nutter Butter Cookies (No Bake)
Make festive reindeer nutter butter cookies in 20 minutes—no baking required! Perfect for cookie trays, parties, and gifting.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
- 10 oz milk chocolate melting wafers
- 24 edible candy eyes
- 20 mini pretzels includes extra in case some break
- 12 mini Reese’s cups
- 12 to 14 red M&M’s
Instructions
- Break the mini pretzels in half to create two antlers per cookie; set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate wafers in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip each Nutter Butter to fully coat; lift with a fork and gently tap to remove excess.
- While still wet, place two candy eyes near the top of the cookie.
- Set a mini Reese’s cup (flat side down) toward the lower half, then dip a red M&M in melted chocolate and press onto the cup for the nose.
- Dip the cut ends of two pretzel halves in chocolate and press onto the sides to form antlers.
- Let cookies sit until the chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.
Notes
- Work assembly-line style (dip 3–4 cookies, then decorate) so the coating doesn’t firm before you attach pieces.
- If antlers slide, wait 1–2 minutes after dipping before placing them
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in a cool spot or the fridge; separate layers with parchment. Best within 2–3 days.
- Freezing not recommended (pretzels soften).
