One of the very first things that comes to mind when you mention Christmas, is of course, Rudolph! This classic holiday favorite was the inspiration for our Rice Krispie Treat Reindeer Pops, which were one of the highlights of our DIY Breakfast Buffet at our Elf on the Shelf Arrival Breakfast! You can create this no bake recipe at home for your very own holiday breakfast treat with our easy to follow recipe and some adorable supplies!
- 5 c. Rice Cereal
- 4 c. Marshmallows
- 1/4 c. Butter
- 12 oz. Chocolate Chips
- Candy Eyes
- Mini Pretzels
Start by mixing up your classic style Rice Krispie Treat by melting the marshmallows and the butter and adding it to 5 cups of rice cereal. Mix completely and press into a rectangular pan. Allow your treats to cool until firm, then cut your Rice Krispie Treats into rectangles.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave bowl in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and creamy. Do not over heat or the chocolate will seize. Then dip the bottom of a Red Striped Paper Straw into the melted chocolate to create your "pop".
Now insert the Red Striped Paper Straw into the top of the pop. The chocolate will harden and hold the straw securly in place.
Coat the full Rice Krispie Treat in melted chocolate and allow to cool in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm, roughly 5-10 minutes.
Next, dip the bottom of two pretzels into the chocolate and adhere to the top corners of the pop.
Now, dip the backs of each eye and the Red Chocolate Candy nose in the chocolate and add them to the center of the pop. Place the pops back in the refrigerator for another 5 minutes to ensure everything dries in place.
