Holiday food is just plain fun to make.  I love it.  Taking everyday foods and a few minutes later, you have super cute and festive treats to put a smile on someone’s face. What’s not to love? These graham cracker reindeer are SUPER simple and quick to make. Easy, peasy lemon squeezy, you guys.  Perfect for kids’ parties or just a fun after school surprise for the littles. The kids can help make them with ease, too, which makes them a great option for an activity FOR a party that the kids can eat afterwards! That’s a win for everyone. 

 

Graham Cracker Reindeer Semi-Homemade Festive Treats

Ingredients

graham cracker squares
12 oz package of Wilton chocolate candy melts
candy eyes (you can also do some “female” deer with eyelash eyeballs!)
red M&M’s
Nilla Wafers
large pretzel twists
toothpick

 

Directions

Pour the chocolate candy melts into a microwave safe dish.

Heat in 30 second increments, stirring until melted

Set aside and allow the chocolate to cool a few minutes.

Spread the melted chocolate on each graham square. Give each reindeer two eyes.

Gently break a large pretzel twist in 1/2 to make 2 antlers for the reindeer.

Place 1 Nilla Wafer directly below the 2 eyes for the reindeer’s snout.

Use the toothpick to spread a little bit of chocolate on the back of the red M&M for the reindeer’s nose.

Repeat with all the reindeer
Allow them to set for at least 30 minutes prior to serving.
