Reindeer Rice Cakes

These Reindeer Rice Cakes are a fun treat to make during Christmas time!

Hello friends! The countdown to Christmas is on! 15 days until Santa comes!

I have enjoyed making different treats this holiday season, especially the kid friendly kinds. I don’t have any kiddos of my own yet, which most of you know, but I know YOU probably have a kiddo or 2 of your own.

My fiancé recently picked up rice cakes from Costco which means we have A LOT of rice cakes on hand. I love having rice cakes for a snack because they are a great vehicle for peanut butter ! (As if I needed another reason to eat peanut butter ).

But they are also great to make treats out of too!

You’ll love this recipe because they are:

Easy to make
Require a few simple ingredients
Can be prepped ahead of time
Kid-friendly (and adult friendly too of course)
Are lower in calories compared to other desserts
Taste incredible!

Growing up my mom was always into crafts.

I always admired how creative she was in the kitchen, with my school projects, Halloween costumes, Christmas ornaments, etc.

As I am getting older, I am realizing I have the creativity bug in me too! No real surprises there, but I love noticing more and more how much I resemble my momma.

What you will need for Reindeer Rice Cakes:

Rice cakes
White chocolate
Nutella
Candy eyes
Whole pretzels
Something for the nose (fresh cranberry or red M&Ms works well)

What type of rice cakes should I use?

Plain or lightly salted works best.

What if I don’t have Nutella?

You can melt milk or dark chocolate and use that in place of Nutella.

I used a fresh cranberry. You can use a dried cranberry or a red skittle or M&M too! Anything circular & red works!
