Notes
Substitutions & Storage
- Cookies. Milano Cookies are a great substitution for Nutter Butter Cookies in this no bake recipe.
- M&M Candies. I have used a larger Red M&M. (Crispy M&M) But any size Red Candy will work. You could even try a raspberry Gummy candy or Red Hots!
- Pretzels. Pretzels can be tricky to break in half. Use whole mini pretzels for larger antlers to make No Bake Moose Cookies!
- Storage: Store these adorable reindeer in an airtight container at room temperature. You can refrigerate them on a baking
