Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 5 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups cocoa krispies
  • 1 tube white icing with decorating tip
  • 24 mini pretzels
  • 24 candy eyes
  • 12 red hots

Instructions

  • Grease a 9x13 inch pan and set aside
  • Place 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 45 seconds. Butter should be fully melted. Do not cool.
  • Add mini marshmallows to bowl and toss to coat with melted butter. 
  • Place bowl of butter and mini marshmallows back in microwave for 90 seconds, stopping to stir it once. 
  • Working quickly, add in the cocoa krispies and mix until they are fully coated with the melted butter and marshmallows. 
  • Spread the rice krispie treats into the greased 9x13 inch pan. Smooth out the top of the rice krispie treats with a rubber spatula. 
  • Let cool 10 minutes. 
  • Now it's time to make your rice krispie treat reindeer. Cut your rice krispie treats into 12 triangles. 
  • Remove each triangle from the pan.
  • Using your white icing with a decorating tip, place icing at the top two corners of the triangle and gently press once mini pretzel into each corner. These will be your rice krispie treat reindeer's antlers. 
  • Next, add glue on your eyes with the white icing. 
  • Lastly, use the white icing to attach the red hot "reindeer nose" to the bottom corner of the triangle. 
  • Try not to eat all of your rice krispie treat reindeer in one sitting!
