Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 96 mini rod pretzels (dipping stick size)
  • 2 cups melted semisweet chocolate
  • 48 red candies (such as Sixlets, M&Ms, or cinnamon imperials)
  • 96 mini candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Dip Pretzels: Dip each mini rod pretzel into the melted semisweet chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Tap off any excess chocolate to prevent clumps and allow for quick drying.
  2. Form Reindeer Face: Place two dipped pretzels side by side on a flat surface to simulate antlers and face shape.
  3. Add Eyes and Nose: While the chocolate is still wet, place two mini candy eyes near the center of the pretzels and position one red candy below the eyes to serve as the reindeer’s nose.
  4. Harden: Allow the pretzels to sit undisturbed until the chocolate hardens completely. This can take about 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Store: Once firm, store the reindeer pretzels in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crisp.

Notes

  • Use good-quality semisweet chocolate for best flavor and smooth coating.
  • If the chocolate starts to thicken while dipping, gently re-melt it over low heat.
  • Mini candy eyes can be found in baking supply stores or online.
  • These pretzels are best enjoyed within a week for optimal freshness.
  • For quicker hardening, refrigerate the pretzels for about 10 minutes instead of leaving at room temperature.
