These no-bake Christmas treats are sure to bring a smile to your kid’s face! Adorable 4 ingredient donut hole reindeer are easy to make and can easily be customized to fit the taste preferences of your loved ones!
Ingredients:
- Plain donut holes
- Star shaped pretzels
- Butterscotch or peanut butter baking chips
- Black icing with writing tip
I purchased all of my ingredients at Walmart. I wasn’t able to find plain or chocolate star shaped pretzels, so I just coated the white chocolate ones in dark chocolate. You could make cute white stag reindeer with powdered sugar donut holes, white chocolate, and white chocolate covered pretzels. The color combinations and flavors are completely up to your own preferences!
How to Assemble Donut Hole Reindeer
Step 1:
Melt of a baking chips in microwave in 30 second increments stirring in between until melted. Dip donut holes in melted chocolate at an angle on each side to create a “V” shape of melted chocolate. Place freshly dipped donut holes on parchment paper and allow to set.
Step 2:
Using black frosting and a small writing piping tip, pipe on eyes and nose as shown in the picture below. I put mouths on some and left them off others. Feel free to add your own flair!
Step 3:
With remaining melted chocolate, pipe on ears on top of each donut hole. I used a plastic baggie with the corner snipped to accomplish this task.
Step 4:
Cut your star pretzels in half and place behind ears. If needed, you can use a skewer to “pre-drill” holes before placing the pretzel antlers.
And that’s all there is to it! Feel free to pin and share this idea!
