Print Recipe
Equipment
- Color printer
- 1 sheet of 8.5 x 11 white cardstock paper
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Ribbon (festive colors like red or green!)
- Goodie bags (clear plastic ones)
- Treat sticks (like the ones for cake pops)
Ingredients
- Double stuffed Oreo cookies
- Candy canes
- Rolos candy
- Hot Tamales candy
- Candy eyes (the kind you find in the baking aisle)
Instructions
- Twist the Oreos Apart. Start by gently twisting your Oreos apart. You want to make sure you have plenty of that sweet frosting left on both halves because that’s what’s going to hold everything together.
- Add the Treat Stick and Candy Canes. Place a treat stick into the center of the Oreo frosting. Next, take two small candy canes and stick them into the frosting on either side of the stick to create your reindeer’s antlers. How cute is that, right?
- Reassemble the Oreo. Carefully press the Oreo pieces back together, making sure your candy canes and treat stick are snug in the frosting. Now your reindeer is starting to take shape!
- Make the Reindeer’s Nose. Cut a Hot Tamale candy in half. This will be the red part of the reindeer’s nose! To attach it to a Rolo (which will act as the base of the nose), dip the cut end of the Hot Tamale into a small cup of very hot water for just a second—this will soften it up. Now, press the melted end onto the top of the Rolo.
- Attach the Nose to the Oreo. Next, dip the flat side of the Rolo (with the attached Hot Tamale) into the hot water for a second to soften the chocolate just a little. Then, stick the Rolo onto the center of your Oreo and press gently. Voilà! You’ve just given your reindeer its signature red nose—Rudolph would be proud.
- Add the Reindeer’s Eyes. Now it’s time to bring your reindeer to life by adding the candy eyes! Using the same method with the hot water, slightly melt a bit of extra chocolate from another Rolo and use that as your “glue” to attach the eyes just above the nose.
- Let Your Reindeer Set. Once you’ve added all the features, let your reindeer Oreo pops set completely. You can pop them in the fridge for a few minutes to speed up the process if you like.
- Package Your Reindeer. Place your finished reindeer pops into the goodie bags, then tie them off with a festive ribbon. These little treats make such a great gift for teachers, friends, or even stocking stuffers!
- Print & Attach Reindeer Poems. For an extra personal touch, print the reindeer poems on white cardstock paper. Cut them out neatly, punch a hole near the top and bottom, and slide the treat stick through. Your reindeer is now dressed to impress and ready to share some holiday joy.
