Pretzel Rod Reindeer
Ingredients
- 8 pretzel rods
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips melted
- 16 mini pretzel twists broken in half
- 16 candy eyes
- 8 red mini candy-coated chocolates
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, turning to coat about three-quarters of the length, and let excess drip off.
- Lay the dipped rods on the parchment and press two mini pretzel twist halves into the chocolate near one end for antlers.
- Press two candy eyes just below the antlers.
- Press one red candy below the eyes for the nose.
- Let the rods set at room temperature for 20 minutes, until the chocolate is firm and no longer glossy-wet.
Good to Know
Swap milk chocolate for white chocolate on half the batch so the plate has two colors of reindeer without any extra work.
