If you’re looking for easy no bake Christmas treats, my OREO Reindeer Balls are a cookie treat everyone loves!
Christmas season always means the kids will have a number of Christmas parties to attend.
When kids are involved I love adding a touch of Christmas cheer to our treats, irrespective of what they may be.
So if OREO Cookie Balls are on the agenda, who wouldn’t want Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on the scene?
Seriously, how cute is this?
I know OREO Cookie Balls can be intimidating.
And while I’m far from being a pro at these, there are a few things I have picked up from trial, error and experience.
So, if I can make these, I promise you can too!
Easy hacks to make your OREO cookie balls turn out just right!
Before we start, use the official OREO Cookie Balls recipe (found at the bottom of the post)
Now to make your OREO Reindeer Balls, you need a few additional ingredients:
- a pack of candy eyeballs,
- red M&Ms and
- tiny twist pretzels.
Now prepare the recipe following the instructions in the Official OREO Cookie Balls Recipe outline but remember these hacks:
Hack #1
Freeze the dough, on parchment paper, for half an hour or so, before attempting to chocolate coat the balls.
Hack #2
Melt the chocolate on a double boiler with a tablespoon of coconut oil.
Start by using three bars of chocolate.
This should suffice… at least that’s all I needed.
Hack #3
Gently press the pretzel antlers into either side right after coating a ball with chocolate.
Be careful to ensure you hold the candy eyeballs and M&Ms to the chocolate for a while, to ensure they don’t slide down. 
Another option would be to wait for the chocolate to set and then attach the eyes and nose on with a little melted chocolate or frosting to act like a gluing agent.
No child would want to get Rudolph the Red-Nosed Moose!
I promise this gets easier as you move along.
And don’t worry if you make a mistake, you can always cover those chocolate-covered botches with Christmas sprinkles.
Nobody will notice a thing!
All set to take Rudolph to meet the kids at their next Christmas party?
Psst! Here’s Hack #4:
In case you’re wondering, yes, that’s a melting eyeball.
I recommend allowing the melted chocolate, completed cookie balls to set outside and not in the fridge.
The change in temperature from inside the fridge to outside in the heat is not kind on eyeballs.
That’s winter for you, here in our corner of Texas.
Keeping it real y’all!

That is ADORABLE, I am totally pinning this to try with my kiddos! Love it! I have never actually made a cookie ball before, plenty of peanut butter ones though.
I have actually never made cookie balls before, but these sound like an awesome one to start with. They are SO cute.
My cookie balls never turn out as well formed as yours! These look so cute I would hate to eat them!
Hmm, I have never tried to make cookie balls, so I have no hacks to share… But after seeing how cool yours came out, I will have to try to make them.
These look delicious! I have a feeling they’re going to go down in history… I had to do it. =D
That is a super cute idea, and looks really simple to do too. Thanks for the great idea!
I guess the only tip I could add is don’t do anything I do. My last Oreo ball attempt was a total failure. They tasted good, but they looked horrible.
These seem awesome, & I can’t wait to try this recipe with my little one.
When I am making cookie balls, I usually use an ice cream scooper to shape the same size every time! That would be my only hack I could share! 😀
No, I don’t have any hacks, I wish that I did… I am not one to bake, but I am one to eat what others bake. HA! Kidding. I can actually make oreo balls, but yours look so much better than mine ever did. Thanks for sharing.
