How to Make Oreo Reindeer Pops
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
- Carefully cut the pretzels in half with kitchen scissors for the reindeer “ears”. You’ll most likely get one ear out of each pretzel. (Photo 1)
- Set aside 6 of the candy melts for the reindeer “noses”. Melt the remaining chocolate candy melts according to package instructions. (Photo 2)
- Dip the end of a lollipop stick in the melted chocolate and insert it into the center of an Oreo cookie. You want to push it about halfway into the Oreo. (Photo 3)
- Next, dip the end of two pretzel sticks into the chocolate and insert them into the top of the Oreo cookie at a slight angle for each “antler”. (Photo 4)
- Dip the end of each pretzel “ear” into the chocolate and insert them into the Oreo cookie on each side of the “antlers”. (Photo 5)
- Wait a few minutes for the chocolate to set/ dry in the Oreos.
- Rewarm melted chocolate, being careful not to burn, as needed.
- Holding the Oreo pop by the lollipop stick, use a spoon to spoon melted chocolate over the face of the reindeer, and then gently cover the ears in chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drain off and then place the reindeer pop on the wax paper. (Photo 6)
- Place one of the reserved chocolate melts in the center of the Oreo for the nose. Add a bit of melted chocolate to the M side of a red M&M and place it in the center of the candy melt nose. Add two candy eyes above the nose. (Photos 7 & 8)
- Allow chocolate to dry before wrapping in treat bags or serving.

Tips
Double Stuffed Oreos are the perfect treat for this reindeer pops recipe. You can use any type of chocolate sandwich cookies you’d like, but Double Stuff makes it easier to assemble your Christmas Oreo Pops.
You have to be careful when decorating with googly candy eyes. If they get misplaced, they’re a pain to fix. So, place them quickly and try your best not to shift them while the chocolate hardens.
If you giving these Oreo Reindeer Pops as a gift, then add a pretty gift tag.
Substitutions and Variations
If you don’t have googly candy eyes, you can use white chocolate chips or miniature marshmallows.
You can also use Hershey’s Kisses in place of the chocolate melts.
You can leave the popsicle stick off of these Christmas Oreo Pops and just have Oreo Reindeer Cookies if you prefer.

You can use any chocolate sandwich cookie you’d like for this reindeer pops recipe. Or even use other flavors of Oreos. I don’t recommend using Oreo thins, however.
