How to Make Rice Krispie Reindeer
- Start by melting butter and marshmallows, then stir in Rice Krispies.
- Press the mixture firmly into a greased pan to set for 30–60 minutes.
- Once firm, cut the block into triangle shapes.
- Melt white chocolate and use it as “glue” to attach pretzel antlers, candy eyes, and M&M noses (red for Rudolph, brown for the others).
- Chill the decorated treats briefly so the chocolate hardens before serving.
Don’t overcook the marshmallows; remove them from heat as soon as they’re melted. Press the mixture firmly into the pan, but not too tightly.
Yes! Store in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days. Add decorations the day of serving for the freshest look.
Only for a few minutes after decorating so the chocolate sets. After that, they’re best stored at room temperature.
