Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Miniature marshmallows
• 0.25 cup Holiday sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine unsalted butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and whole milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.

Step 2

Let the mixture boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove it from heat.

Step 3

Quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 4

Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the oats are coated with the chocolate mixture.

Step 5

Gently fold in the miniature marshmallows and mix until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

Step 7

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into mounds if needed.

Step 8

Top each drop with a pinch of festive holiday sprinkles while the mixture is still warm and sticky.

Step 9

Allow the reindeer drops to cool and set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Alternatively, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for quicker setting.

Step 10

Once set, transfer the reindeer drops to an airtight container and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
