Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (needs to be thick, "no stir" peanut butter)
- 1/2 cup honey
- small pretzels
- red chocolate candy pieces
Instructions
- Place the oats in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey.
- Add the ground oats to the peanut butter mixture and continue to stir until thoroughly combined.
- Using 2 tablespoon of the mixture at a time (I like to use a mini ice cream scooper), roll into balls.
- Cut small pretzels in half to use for the reindeer antlers.
- Decorate with candy eyes, red candies for the nose and pretzel antlers. Place the eyes close together for a super cute face.
Notes
- Choose Thick Peanut Butter: Opt for “no-stir” peanut butter with a thick consistency. This ensures a stable mixture, making it easier to shape the bites.
- Keep Shapes Consistent: Use a mini ice cream scooper or measuring spoons to create uniformly sized bites. Damp hands prevent sticking during shaping as well!
- Secure Features Promptly: Insert pretzel antlers and candy features right after shaping while the mixture is still sticky. Press firmly to ensure they stay in place.
