Chocolate Reindeer Nutter Butter Bites

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 package nutter butter cookies family size
• ▢ 20 mini red m&ms
• ▢ 40 small candy eyes
• ▢ 1 8 ounce block of cream cheese, softened
• ▢ 20 pretzel wheels cut in half
• ▢ 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

• Using a food processor, pulverize all nutter butters into a sandy texture. You may need to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your food processor.
• Add the pulverized nutter butters to a large bowl along with softened cream cheese. Mix them together until you have a soft “dough” texture. You can use a spoon or clean hands to mix.
• Roll a 2-inch ball of nutter butter dough mixture in your hands and pinch the bottom of the ball until you have the shape of a reindeer head. Repeat until you’ve used all of the nutter butter dough and place them on parchment paper in your freezer for 10 minutes.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips according to the package instructions. Using a fork, lower a nutter butter reindeer head into the melted chocolate and use a spoon to help cover the entire head in chocolate. Allow the extra chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing the reindeer head onto parchment paper. Repeat until all heads are covered in chocolate.
• Before the chocolate has hardened, place a pretzel wheel half into both sides of the reindeer head to make antlers, a red m&m at the bottom of the face for a nose, 2 eyes between the antlers, and then place them in your refrigerator for at least 10 minutes or until the chocolate is hardened.
• Keep chilled until ready to serve.
