Christmas is coming, and these hand-dipped reindeer Oreos are super easy and super fun to make with kids. I love making seasonal food. Reindeer tend to be a theme I have adopted for Christmas treats. Just check out my Reindeer Truffles, Reindeer Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Nutter Butter Christmas treats. Food is just such a fun format for holiday celebrations and design.

How to Make Hand-Dipped Reindeer Oreos
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate in double boiler, stirring often until the chocolate is smooth
. Once melted, turn off the burner but keep the bowl over the steam. If you don’t have a double boiler you can always put a glass bowl over a normal pot. Essentially, you want the steam to be melting the chocolate. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals on 50% power, stirring in between cycles. I still like to keep my melted chocolate over steam to keep it from becoming chunky or hardening before you want it to. - Dip Oreo in chocolate and coat with a spoon.
- Spoon coated Oreo out of chocolate and lay on parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
- You can smooth the chocolate on the top of the Oreo with a knife and wipe away excess chocolate around the base.
- Before the chocolate begins to harden, add an M&M nose and candy eyeballs.
- Break candy canes so you just have the hook at the end. Eat the straight part. 🙂
- You’ll want to dip the end of your candy canes in chocolate to help reinforce the connection point, and then add the candy canes to the reindeer Oreos.
- These will harden at room temperature, but you can also stick them in the refrigerator. You’re done! Enjoy!
