Rudolph the Cocoa Krispy Reindeer…had a very candy nose…

Chocolate Cocoa Rice Krispy crispy treats with pretzel antlers and legs, and candy noses ears faces

*sings*

So obviously, they’re cute. No doubt about it.

But you wanna know what makes them even cuter?

That as soon as I saw them, I pictured them moving and talking like old school Rudolph the Reindeer movie.

Yep, definitely cuter now. Make a dozen or two, act out the entire movie, and eat them when you’re done.

Wait. That turns the classic movie into a horror film, huh? Maybe just eat them the next day after the film nostalgia has passed.

I’ve been seeing lots of ideas for food gifts, so I’ll just skip straight to sharing some of them. Remember that while cookies, candies, and other sweets are popular, putting together more savory mixes will carry beyond the holiday season….and without being carried there on an increased waistline. :P

 The Decorated Cookie decorated a whole bunch of these little guys, not just orange ones (there’s an acorn with sparkles), and has all the recipes for the perfect tiny cookies and perfect tiny icing.

She mentioned they’d look awesome filling a mason jar and I agree! Maybe use them to decorate for Thanksgiving even or send home with your dinner guests. Yum.
