The Sweetest Little Reindeer Treats!

I am SO excited to get into the Christmas spirit! I love everything about this time of year, from decorating the tree and putting up Christmas lights to finding gifts for everyone. And of course, we need some fun Christmas treats! I had to share these reindeer brownies because they are just TOO cute. Look at those little faces!

I mean, turning regular brownies into little reindeer is SO fun! You get that rich, chocolatey brownie with a little salty crunch from the pretzels, and the adorable decorations make them almost too cute to eat. ALMOST! Plus, you can use homemade brownies or a boxed mix to keep things easy. Cute Christmas treats without spending all day in the kitchen? Yes, please!

These would be SO fun for a classroom Christmas party or on your holiday dessert table. And if you’re making Christmas treats, you have to try my Christmas Pretzel Hugs, too! They’re another fun and easy treat for the holidays.

Ingredients 

  • brownies
  • candy eyes
  • red M&M’S
  • pretzels
  • frosting or melted chocolate

Instructions 

  • First, put some chocolate in a small cup and melt it in the microwave. This chocolate will act like the glue when assembling the face.
  • Dip the bottom of the pretzels into the chocolate and add them to the top of a brownie.

  • Then, take a knife and round out the bottom edges of the brownie so the face looks more like a reindeer.

Notes

  • Choose brownies that are firm enough to hold their shape so the reindeer faces don’t crumble when decorated.
  • If making these ahead for a party, store them in a single layer in an airtight container to help keep the decorations intact.
