Caramel Fudge Reindeer -The Cutest Christmas Gift

Caramel Fudge reindeer is one of the cutest things you can make this Christmas. Making gifts from the kitchen is one of my favourite things to do. I have the opportunity to cook a bunch of sweet treats and can give them away before I overindulge.

These reindeer were born when I was trying to find a way of creatively gifting salted caramel fudge. Salted Caramel Fudge is one of my most popular recipes on ThermoKitchen, so people LOVE to receive it as a gift, especially if they don’t have a Thermomix.

This simple fudge is so quick to make, never fails and is absolutely addictive. Making the fudge in the shape of a circle gave me the chance to be crafty and clever. A quick trip to spotlight and I had all the supplies needed to decorate the packaging so the fudge looked like a cute reindeer. Don’t worry, I’m not crafty and I created these. You don’t need any exceptional talent! Decorating them is super easy and heaps of fun.

You could even enlist the help of the kids in sticking on the reindeer’s eyes and nose!

If you’re anything like me you leave your Christmas gift cooking until the last moment. This is a fabulous last-minute recipe because it’s super quick. Plus, once it’s packaged it looks like you spent many loving hours making the cutest Christmas kitchen gift ever! o make and it can be packaged up and given as a last-minute gift to neighbours or friends that drop by.

Last year I gave my Reindeer Caramel Fudge to neighbours and the children’s bus driver. I really enjoy spreading the Christmas spirit, so I made some “spares” for the fridge. These were to give friends that dropped by in the lead-up to Christmas.

Don’t forget, your reindeer don’t have to be caramel in colour and flavour. If you prefer you could also use this Vanilla Fudge recipe. Making a batch of each would just be crazy cute.

Tips for Crafting the Reindeer

1. The fudge is made using a round spring-form pan lined with plastic wrap.
2. Once the fudge was set the sweet was cut into eight wedges.
3. The reindeer caramel fudge was then placed into rectangular clear cellophane bags. I folded back the cellophane sides to get a nice triangular shape and then secured the sides with sticky tape to the back of the reindeer.
4. The nose was an adhesive gem from Spotlight.
5. The adhesive eyes were out of stock to I used a hot glue gun to stick eyes on the plastic.
6. I bunch the top of the plastic bag together and secured it with sticky tape.
7. Then I tied a cute ribbon at the top to finish the look.

The bravest and most patient parents might consider asking the children to help decorate the reindeer. Seriously though, the decorating is simple. The step by step instructions are above. But it is mostly just sticking on gems and stickers. Then finishing with a Christmas ribbon.

I hope you enjoy making these as much as I did. Don’t forget to pin this idea to your Christmas Cooking Board on Pinterest.

More Christmas Ideas

If you’re looking for more Thermomix Christmas cooking ideas take a long at my Easy Rum Balls, these are made with cake so they’re super gooey and delicious. Plus they last for a long time so they can be made weeks ahead of Christmas. My other classic is a Traditional Shortbread, this is so adaptable, make it as small cookies or large rounds. Two more super cute ideas is a Chocolate Mint Fudge Christmas Tree or Chocolate Reindeer Cookies.

You can’t forget to make a Steamed Christmas Pudding. This is so much easier to make than the traditional method of boiling the pudding in a calico cloth. Plus, people will think you are just SO clever!

I also have a healthy bliss ball festive treat. They really look festive but they’re filled with nutrient-rich ingredients. These are perfect for Vegans or friends who don’t indulge in sugary treats
