These festive Reindeer Oreo Balls are a no-bake Christmas treat made with crushed Oreos, cream cheese, and a chocolate coating, decorated to look like adorable reindeer. They’re perfect for holiday parties, edible gifts, or fun kitchen activities with kids.

Ingredients

  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 24 oz chocolate almond bark
  • 40 pretzel twists (have extras in case they break)
  • 32 red M&Ms
  • 64 candy eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
  2. Mix the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined and dough-like.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill the rolled balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. While chilling, break pretzel twists in half to create antler shapes.
  6. Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth.
  7. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  8. Place dipped balls on parchment paper and immediately decorate with a red M&M for the nose, two candy eyes, and two pretzel antlers.
  9. If decorations slide, wait a few seconds for the chocolate to partially set before applying.
  10. Repeat for all balls, then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until the chocolate is fully set.

Notes

  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized balls.
  • Crushed candy canes or peppermint extract can be added for a festive twist.
  • White chocolate or colored candy melts can be used in place of almond bark.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
