These reindeer chocolate dipped Oreos are an easy treat to make with your family and are almost too cute to eat. Icing antlers and some melting chocolate make the shape of the reindeer. Reindeer cookies are always a hit at holiday parties.
By now the kids are home for school break and they are looking for something to do around the house before they tear into all those new gifts. This recipe is fun to make at home and hand out to neighbors and friends.
You could even call these Mickey and Minnie Reindeer Chocolate Dipped Oreos. The ears are kind of like mouse ears. Either way, they are adorable and taste fantastic. You can make them with the holiday Oreos for different flavors.
If you don’t have a bow fondant mold
, you can buy these bows premade. I used the premade ones
for my 3D Hidden Surprise Ornament Cookies.
