Santa’s Reindeer Candy Treats

Ho ho ho! These are the cutest little reindeer candy treats ever! I love making fun treats to give to family and friends over the holidays and these sure fit the bill. They make perfect table favors too – they’d look adorable at each person’s place for Christmas dinner.

They’re simple to make and it’s really fun to watch them come together. I make them assembly line fashion so I can create a bunch of Santa’s reindeer treats quickly. Want to make it even easier? I ordered the supplies online! Delivered right to my door and I was all set to put these together.

I’ve got more super cute holiday candy treats here!

My friend Laura over at Little Big House Alaska was inspired by these reindeer. She has made the cutest mini Buche de Noel treats also using Swiss Rolls! Aren’t they adorable?
