Christmas may be over, but I am still eating these reindeer treats non-stop! Reindeer treats, muddy buddies, puppy show, whatever you want to call it this is my favorite treat year round. It’s also the perfect treat to leave out for the reindeer at Christmas. This chocolate peanut buttery snack is so good that you have to seriously restrain yourself from eating the whole batch. They disappear faster than it takes to make them, and they are one of the quickest treats to make so that’s saying something!

You can find the recipe below and share with your friends or just keep them for yourself like I do…
