Nutter Butter Reindeer Pop’s

Last minute Christmas post for ya’ll.

Don’t you just love how the little one with the pupils is rolling his eyes at his brothers. He is probably thinking that he is better than everyone else because he has pupils and they don’t. Little does he know, in the end everyone’s just sticks.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of Nutter Butter cookies
• 1 package chocolate candy coating
• 1 bag red M&M’s or Red-hots ( 1 for each cookie)
• white gel frosting (in the tube)
• black gel frosting (in the tube)
• pretzel twists
• 1 popsicle stick for each cookie

Directions:

1. Prepare a baking sheet with wax paper or a silicone baking mat.Stick one popsicle stick into each Nutter Butter Cookie. You may need to gently separate each cookie in order to fit in the stick. If it breaks a little, its ok because the chocolate will hold it together. It is just easier to dip when it’s whole.

2. Melt chocolate in a small pot on low heat. Or use a double-boiler to melt it. Stir occasionally until smooth.

3. Break up pretzel twists until you have two antlers for each cookie.

4. Dip each cookie into the chocolate. Swirl around until coated. I also had to use a pastry brush to brush on some more chocolate onto the parts I couldn’t coat on the first dip.

5. Place each reindeer on the baking sheet and put a redhot or M&M at the bottom towards the stick.

6. Dip the pretzel antlers in some chocolate and press them onto the reindeer head. They really just need to be touching it because when the chocolate hardens they will be stuck together.

7. Use the little tubes of white and black gel frosting to squeeze on the eyes. Or make your own frosting and pipe the eyes.

8.Let the chocolate harden completely before serving.

I had a little fun with Picnik photo editing.

Merry Christmas from Rudolph!
