Once coated, it's just a matter of adding the pretzel antlers and candy eyes and nose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Christmas Oreo balls can be made the night before to save you time assembling. The uncoated balls need to be chilled in the fridge before being coated in melted chocolate to help them maintain shape.  You could even make the cream cheese and Oreo balls a week or two ahead of Christmas and freeze them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't like spending tons of money on revamping your Christmas decorations, adding some edible holiday treats like these reindeer Oreo balls is a great way to add cheer to any room!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf7d KEY INGREDIENTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Reindeer-Oreo-Balls-ingredients-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Reindeer Oreo balls on a marble countertop.\" class=\"wp-image-82931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Reindeer-Oreo-Balls-ingredients-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Reindeer-Oreo-Balls-ingredients-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Reindeer-Oreo-Balls-ingredients-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Reindeer-Oreo-Balls-ingredients-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Reindeer-Oreo-Balls-ingredients-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Reindeer-Oreo-Balls-ingredients.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oreo cookies<\/strong> &#8211; You'll need about 45 of the Family Size package Oreo Cookies for this recipe.<br><strong>Cream cheese<\/strong> &#8211; Softened to room temperature for easy mixing.<br><strong>Pretzel twists<\/strong> &#8211; Broken in half.<br><strong>Dark chocolate melting wafers<\/strong> &#8211; I prefer the Ghirardelli brand.

If the balls sit out at room temperature for an extended period of time, the chocolate coating will start to crack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled &#8211; great for serving a larger crowd at your holiday parties and events!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcd6 RECIPE VARIATIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These Reindeer Oreo balls are adorable as they are, but I've listed a few ways that you could easily adapt this no-bake recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VARIATIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add vanilla extract or almond extract for an added depth of flavor in these reindeer Oreo balls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use milk chocolate or white chocolate melting wafers to coat the Oreo balls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use Golden Oreos instead of regular Oreos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insert a lollipop stick into the bottom of each reindeer Oreo ball when assembling. This is a great way for guests to handle these treats without getting their hands messy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT TO SERVE WITH REINDEER OREO BALLS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These Reindeer Oreo balls will add festive cheer to any holiday dessert table. Here are two ways I like to enjoy these Christmas treats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ice Cream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Serve these Reindeer Oreo balls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hot Drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy as a sweet holiday treat with your favorite hot beverage &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/hot-chocolate-bombs\/\">hot chocolate<\/a>, coffee, tea, or eggnog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dessert Board<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a holiday-inspired dessert board with these Reindeer Oreo balls and other fun treats, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/chocolate-marshmallow-snowballs\/\">Chocolate Marshmallow Snowballs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/melting-snowmen-cupcakes\/\">Melting Snowmen Cupcakes<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/christmas-peanut-butter-fudge\/\">Christmas Peanut Butter Fudge<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\ude4b FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701538362238\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">CAN I MAKE THESE REINDEER TREATS WITHOUT A FOOD PROCESSOR?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It's possible to crush the Oreo cookies to a fine texture by adding them to a Ziploc bag and crunching them with a rolling pin. You will definitely need some muscle strength to combine the crushed cookies with the softened cream cheese, but it's totally possible!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701538532269\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">DO I NEED TO ADD OIL TO THE MELTED CHOCOLATE?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. The Ghirardelli brand of melting wafers is great for melted chocolate that doesn't need to be smoothed out with the addition of oil. You may need to add some oil to the mixture when using a different brand.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701538564049\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">CAN I FREEZE OREO BALLS TO SERVE LATER?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can! It's one of the reasons that I love making them&#8230;they're easy to make ahead and freeze for later usage! This helps to cut down on the time spent in the kitchen.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddca STORING AND \u2668\ufe0f REHEATING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FRIDGE <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These reindeer Oreo balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I like to line the bottom of the container with parchment paper to prevent the chocolate-coated balls from sticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also add a layer of wax or parchment paper between stacked Oreo balls in storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FREEZER <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend flash freezing the Christmas Oreo balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet for 1-2 hours so that they harden, and then transferring them to an airtight container or a Ziploc bag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thaw the frozen Oreo balls in the fridge for a few hours before serving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that any length of storage of these decorated reindeer Oreo balls can lead to broken pretzel antlers softening and the face decorations bleeding or falling
