Instructions
 

  • REWRITE - Line baking sheet with parchment paper.Pour chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, removing the bowl to stir between each 30 second interval. Repeat microwaving and stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.Pour melted chocolate into a glass, this makes dunking easier.Place 2 mini-pretzel rods side by side and dunk into the melted chocolate half way down the pretzel rods. Allow extra to drip off into the glass.Place onto parchment paper.Put candy eyes in place, followed by the M&M for the nose.Repeat until desired number is reached. Let sit until hardened. https://www.bakingyouhappier.com/reindeer-pretzels/
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Microwave dark chocolate chips in a small glass in 30 second increments, repeat till soft. Stir.
  • Find two straight pretzels that fit together - hold together and dip in small glass to create the reindeer face about half of pretzel length. Let extra chocolate drip off.
  • Lay on parchment paper. Add min M&M for nose.
  • If you have small candy eyes, place them now while its still liquid.
  • Otherwise use white chocolate to make dots by icing dispenser or ziploc with hole. Use a toothpick with melted dark chocolate for pupil.
    SO CUTE!
  • For something different - use the parts of knot pretzel to create the reindeer in the middle.

Notes

For white eyes with dark chocolate pupils (use toothpick for pupils)
White Chocolate (without Cocoa Butter) uses coconut oil.
