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.
