These cute cutout reindeer really fly off the plate when my brother's around. They're his favorite! The subtle chocolate color and taste make them a nice alternative to plain vanilla sugar cookies. -Lisa Rupple, Keenesburg, Colorado

I was really disappointed with these reindeer. They were not as cute as I expected and they didn't taste very good.

I used white chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate and they turned out really cute. I also added some sprinkles for a little extra decoration.

I had a hard time finding the right mold for the reindeer. I ended up using a muffin tin and they didn't turn out as cute as I wanted.

I used dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate and they turned out really rich and flavorful. I also added some chopped nuts for a little extra crunch.
