Five No Bake Reindeer Cookies with pretzels for antlers, cherry sours for noses and candy eyeballs.

I love no-bake treats. I especially love no-bake treats that involve melting chocolate and marshmallow together. These Cornflake Reindeer Cookies are the perfect marriage of sweet and salty, especially when you add the pretzels for antlers on the top!

The idea for these treats came from these Cornflake Wreaths which are wildly popular. Every time I make them for a party or neighbors, everyone goes crazy for them. The cornflake treats are unexpected but so good, I dare say they're BETTER than rice krispie treats!

Pro Tips:

It helps to have more than one person making these so you can add the pretzels, eyeballs and cherry sours as quickly as you can while the marshmallow is still sticky!
