Reindeer Brownie Recipe

Reindeer Brownie treats are my daughter’s favorite to make this time of year – it has become one of our holiday traditions. Well, those and these Christmas Fruit Kabobs. I find these reindeer pretty cute too 🙂  We brought them to a holiday party last year and they were a gigantic hit. But sometime they’re just a fun activity on a cold winter day. How could they not make you happy?

There are similar reindeer recipes that use cake mix instead of brownies, but I prefer to have the substantial base of the brownie to work with {as well as the rich chocolate yumminess}. You could certainly substitute cake if you prefer.

Making Reindeer Brownies

One year, I wasn’t able to find the white mint candies I usually use for the eyes on the Reindeer Brownies, but the grocery store had some pre-made eyes that worked just as well. Now I see them everywhere! Also, this time I used a brownie mix instead of making the brownies from scratch.

You can do whatever you like best and have time for! This goes for the chocolate frosting as well.

Reindeer Brownie Ingredients

Again, you could use any brownie or cake mix for this recipe.

Other Supplies

Reindeer Brownie ingredients including brownie mix, oil, pretzels, frosting, Nilla Wafers, candy eyeballs, eggs and M&Ms on kitchen counter top.

 

Make the brownies as you normally would, except bake them in a cupcake pan using whatever cupcake liner you like.

Once out of the oven, let the brownies cool completely before frosting and decorating them into adorable reindeer.

How To Decorate Reindeer Brownies

After you frost each brownie, you are ready to start adding your toppings to make your reindeer come to life. Start with your mini Nilla Wafer for the muzzle.

Next add your mini pretzels for antlers and your candy eyes. These should stay put just fine in the frosting.

And finish your reindeer off with a brown or red nose attached with a little frosting to hold it in place.

  17. These are darling! I’m not sure if I could be trusted with a tray of these. I think I’d eat them all because they either looked so good or tasted so good:) Pinning & sharing on my Facebook page!
