Whip up some of these no-bake Cornflake Reindeer Cookies today with your friends or family! Made with cornflakes, marshmallow, chocolate and pretzels - they are so delicious. The perfect easy Christmas treat.
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!
