5-Ingredient Reindeer Treats
I held off sharing these mini reindeer treats until after Thanksgiving—worth celebrating, right?
The idea for these little guys came back during Halloween after making the 4-ingredient bat bites you all loved. A Christmas version was a must, and here they are: mini reindeer treats!
These reindeer treats are just as satisfying, incredibly simple to make, and reliable as a fun (and tasty!) craft to do with your kids.
Ingredients
