Make these cute and simple reindeer pretzels for a fun, no-bake holiday snack that kids can help assemble.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 large pretzel twists
  • 1 cup milk chocolate melting wafers
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter chips (optional, for flavor)
  • Small red candy balls (for noses)
  • Candy eyes
  • Small red or brown M&M’s or similar candies (for antlers)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the chocolate wafers (and peanut butter chips, if using) according to package directions. You can use a microwave or a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
  3. Dip one side of each pretzel twist into the melted chocolate, covering about one-third of the pretzel.
  4. Place the chocolate-covered pretzel onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. While the chocolate is still wet, quickly place two candy eyes on the top portion of the chocolate.
  6. Place one small red candy ball near the bottom center of the chocolate for the nose.
  7. Break the M&M’s or small candies in half or use small pieces to resemble antlers and place them on either side of the chocolate area, near the eyes.
  8. Allow the chocolate to set completely. You can speed this up by placing the tray in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes

  • If you do not have small candy eyes, you can use a toothpick dipped in melted dark chocolate to draw small eyes.
  • For a firmer set, chill the finished pretzels for 15 minutes before serving.
  • This is a great recipe for involving children in holiday food preparation.
