Yield: 12 pops

Time: 20 minutes + chill
Key Ingredients First:
- Chocolate sandwich cookies
- Melting chocolate
- Lollipop sticks
Ingredients
- 12 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1 ½ cups melting chocolate (milk or dark)
- 12 lollipop or popsicle sticks
- 24 mini pretzels (for antlers)
- 12 red candies (M&M’s or similar) for noses
- 24 candy eyes
- A little melted chocolate (for attaching decorations)
Instructions
- Insert the Sticks
Gently twist open each sandwich cookie, place a lollipop stick in the center, and press the cookie back together. A touch of melted chocolate helps secure the stick.
This step makes them perfect for Christmas cookie pop recipes and fun edible crafts. - Dip in Chocolate
Melt the chocolate in the microwave or on the stovetop. Dip each cookie pop fully into the chocolate, letting excess drip off. Lay on parchment paper to set. - Add the Antlers
While the coating is still soft, press two mini pretzels onto the top to make Rudolph’s antlers. - Make the Faces
Add two candy eyes and one red candy nose to each pop, using a bit of melted chocolate like glue. - Chill to Set
Refrigerate the pops for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
Serving Ideas
- Package individually in treat bags for gifting.
- Display on a holiday dessert platter.
- Add to Christmas stockings or party favors.
- Pair with hot cocoa for a cozy winter snack.
Perfect for readers searching for no-bake reindeer treats, cute Christmas snacks, and DIY edible holiday gifts.
Tips
- Use high-quality melting chocolate for the smoothest coating.
- Don’t overheat chocolate — it burns quickly.
- Add sprinkles or edible glitter for extra holiday shine.
- Let pops fully chill before packaging so nothing smears.
