Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer.... a song a recipes for two yummy reindeer treats!

A Holiday favorite whether in song or story, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It's also a story/song with a good lesson, Different doesn't mean bad.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and
Prancer, and Vixen,
Comet, and Cupid, and
Donder and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history! 

 

 

I wondered and wondered what kind of "cooking" could I have the kids do with this song and Voila! I found my answer on Pinterest!  I love Pinterest!  I actually found quite a few cute recipes but I decided on just two of them. The first recipe is very simple and needs only 4 ingredients ~ Reindeer Paws and Noses are just too cute! The second recipe  for Reindeer Corn Cookie Bark is just too pretty and too tasty to leave out! I hope you enjoy making both and don't miss the Rudolph cartoon at the end of the blog! Happy Holidays!

Reindeer Corn Cookie Bark recipe found at YourHomeBasedMom .com

Ingredients

• 14 whole Oreos, broken up. I used the holiday ones with the red filling but regular will work fine
• 1 1/2 C pretzels, broken into pieces. I used the small stick pretzels
• 1 lb. white chocolate, almond bark or melts found in the bulk food section
• 1 C reindeer corn
• red and green colored sprinkles
• 
  

Instructions

• Cover a large cookie sheet with wax paper
• Spread broken cookes, pretzels and about 3/4 C of the candy corn onto the waxed paper
• Place white chocolate in a container and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes
• Stir and then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and smooth
• White chocolate melts faster and burns easier than chocolate
• Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie mixture, spreading with spatula if needed to coat evenly
• Sprinkle remaining candy corn and colored sprinkles over the chocolate while it is still wet
• Do not let it harden
• Place cookie tray into refrigerator until set and firm
• Remove and gently break bark into small pieces
• Store in air tight container
