Ingredient list

12 OREO Cookies
8 miniature pretzel twists, each broken into 3 pieces
2 oz. white candy coating wafers, melted
2 Tbsp. white nonpareils
1 pkg. (4 oz.) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
12 small red round candies
24 mini candy eyeballs

Directions

Separate cookies, leaving creme filling on half of each cookie. Place creme-topped cookie pieces, top sides down, on parchment-covered baking sheet.

Dip pretzel pieces, 1 at a time, into melted candy coating; scrape off excess coating on edge of bowl before dipping pretzels into the nonpareils.

Press 2 coated pretzel pieces onto each creme-covered cookie half for the reindeer's antlers. Cover with remaining cookie halves, top sides up.

Spread tops of cookies with melted chocolate. Decorate with remaining ingredients as shown in photo. Let stand 30 min. or until chocolate is firm.

Recipe Tips

OREO Snowmen
Omit pretzels and nonpareils. Do not separate cookies. Melt 4 oz. candy coating wafers; spread onto tops of cookies. Decorate with small candies and/or sprinkles to resemble snowmen faces.
Note
If the dipped pretzel pieces do not stick to the creme filling inside reassembled cookies, use small amount of the remaining candy coating to secure the pretzels to the cookies. Or you can instead press the coated pretzel pieces into the melted semi-sweet chocolate spread onto tops of the unsplit cookies before decorating with remaining ingredients.
How to Store
