found: a red-nose reindeer


merrrrrry christmas!! tis the season of mistletoes, reindeer, christmas trees, and lots of holiday parties!! this post is coming at the most perfect time, the last weekend before christmas. what does this mean? an entire weekend of holiday parties! and i bet you have to "bring a dish of your choice," right? think no more; a fun and festive idea is here! reindeer cookies made from nutter butters. that's right. 2 words of heaven on earth. peanut butter. YUM!!



ingredients:
- 1 pack of nutter butter cookies- yields about 30 cookies (unless you're like me and eat them while making them... whoops)
- 1 pack of m&ms
- 1 bag of pretzels
- 1 container of vanilla/cream cheese icing


directions:
spoon icing onto the eyes, nose, and antler spots.  make sure the eyes are placed in the middle of the cookies. this will allow for ample room at the top for the pretzel antlers. place m&ms on eyes and nose spots. if you want all "rudlophs," obviously, use the red m&ms for the noses only. for the antlers, cut (or bite if they're for you) the bottom of the prezel off. position halfway on top of cookie. and there, you have your reindeer :)

these cookies are a fun dessert for holiday parties, an entertaining activity for your kids, or simply, a festive treat to have around the house. all i know is... these cookies are a HIT! your guests, kids, and family will all receive great pleasure from eating rudolph for dessert. and not to mention these cookies are YUMMMMY! a perfect combination of sweet, salty, and nutty. you can't go wrong with these!! and as always... happy cooking :) and merry christmas!
