These sweet Chocolate Rice Krispie Treat Reindeer Pops couldn't be easier to make. Almost everything you need to decorate them comes in a kit.
The clock is ticking down to the big day, and I know some of you are scrambling to get treats made for your holiday parties and stocking stuffers, so today's project is super easy and doable in about 30 minutes.
All you need to do is dip store bought Rice Krispie Treats in chocolate then decorate them using the candies in Wilton's Reindeer Decorating Kit.
If you are looking to use homemade Rice Krispie Treats, head on over to my new website, HowToMakeRiceKrispies.com. You can also check out how we taste tested 20 versions of the Rice Krispie Treat recipe to come up with the absolute BEST Rice Krispie Treat Recipe.
I am totally loving the new kits. I used another one to decorate my Cheesecake Snowmen. The reindeer kit includes every decorative piece you need to create a reindeer cupcake, cake, snack cake, cookie, or rice krispie treat. You can find the kits at craft stores like JoAnn's and Michael's and at Walmart, which is where I got mine. So, what are you waiting for, go grab a kit and get busy.
Chocolate Rice Krispie Treat Reindeer
You'll Need:
Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats
melted and tempered milk chocolate
or melted light cocoa confectionery coating (Candy Melts)*
Wilton's Reindeer Decorating Kit
*For detailed instructions on working with and melting chocolate or confectionery coating, see my Chocolate Making Tips page.
Instructions:
Dip one end of a lollipop stick or paper straw into the chocolate. Insert the chocolate tip into a Rice Krispies Treat. Allow that chocolate to dry.
Dip the Rice Krispies Treat into the chocolate. Remove and allow excess to drip off.
Immediately attach two candy eyes, 1 jelly bean nose, two candy antlers, and one bow to the treat. Depending on where you place the bow you can make girl or boy reindeer.
If using pure milk chocolate, refrigerate treats for about 10 minutes until the chocolate sets. If using confectionery coating, freeze treats for about 10 minutes.
Wrap the treats in clear cellophane bags, tie them with ribbon, and pass out to friends and family. You can store these in an airtight container for up to a month.

Need help with dipping treats...they are wanting to come apart and fall off the stick. I need to make a huge amount of them and am frustrated just with a trial run...HELP!
Beth says
Hi Melissa, I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. Are you using the pre-packaged Rice Krispies Treats or homemade? The store bought treats will hold together much better than homemade treats. If they are homemade you may need to really compress them so that they hold together. You can also use a pastry brush to brush a thin layer of the chocolate over the treat which should help it hold together. Also be sure there is some chocolate on your stick before you insert it. Let that chocolate harden before you dip the treats. You can even brush some extra chocolate around the treat where you've inserted the stick to make sure it holds. I hope this helps!
