The season of shopping, decorating, and running errands can often keep us busy and stressed. Throughout the busy season it can be nice to take a day and just relax by listening to some Christmas tunes and lighting a Christmas candle while baking in a warm kitchen with your friends and family. Here are two crafty Christmas deserts you can try throughout the season:

1. Nutter Butter Reindeer

Ingredients: Nutter Butter Cookies, White Candy Melts, Candy Eyes or M&M minis, Large Red M&M’s or gum balls, and Pretzels

Recipe:
1. Break the pretzels into antler shaped pieces.
2. Candy eyes or brown M&M minis.
3. Melt the candy melts into a Ziploc bag while following the package directions. For more convenient use, snip off a very small corner of the Ziploc bag.
