Ingredients For Rudolph Cheese Recipe
- Laughing Cow Cheese – These creamy, individually wrapped cheeses are used for the body of Rudolph.

How to Make A Christmas Appetizer
Making Rudolph Cheese Bites is super easy. Start by unwrapping your Laughing Cow Cheeses and placing them on a serving tray. The soft cheese will act as Rudolph’s face. Stick a red M&M on the pointy tip of each piece of cheese for Rudolph’s shiny red nose.
Break the pretzels into pieces to create antlers, and gently press them into the top sides of the cheese, being careful not to push too hard to avoid cracking the cheese. Add candy eyes above the nose with a gentle press.
That's it! Your adorable Rudolph cheese recipe is done. You can serve these immediately or store them in the fridge for later.
Tips For Rudolph Cheese
Tip 1: Be gentle with the cheese; it can soften quickly as you work. Keep it refrigerated until it’s time to assemble.
Tip 2: To make prep time even quicker, you can set up an assembly line with the kids. Assign each person a different Rudolph “part” to add to the cheese.
FAQS For Rudolph Cheese Recipe
How to Store Rudolph Cheese Bites?
Store the Rudolph cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve them. They stay fresh for up to 24 hours, but they’re at their best when served shortly after assembly to keep the pretzels crunchy and the cheese fresh.
Can I Make This Reindeer Cheese Snack Ahead of Time?
Sure! You can prepare this cheese snack a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. Wait to add the pretzels until just before serving to keep them crispy.
Are There Substitutes for Candy Eyes?
If you can’t find candy eyes, you can use brown M&Ms. Chocolate chips also work as an easy alternative!
