How tO Make chocolate covered reindeer pretzels
Are you ready to learn how to make these reindeer treats?! They’re so simple and fun!
In a small bowl, add the candy melts and microwave on 50% power for 2-3 minutes. Make certain that the bowl is microwave safe and that you’re stirring it every 30 seconds until it’s all melted.
Next, take your chocolate covered pretzels and lay them out into parchment paper.
Take a red M&M and dip it lightly into the melted chocolate. Then place it on the bottom of your chocolate pretzel.
Next, grab a pretzel twist and break it in half to make it look like antlers.
Dip the very bottom of the pretzel antlers into the chocolate and press them onto the top of the chocolate covered pretzels.
Make certain that you grab the two eyes and add them onto the pretzel antlers while the chocolate is still soft.
Let harden up and enjoy every single bite!
Variations to this simple Pretzel Reindeer
You can totally change this into so many other tasty reindeer treats!
To make a pretzel rolo reindeer:
Just add a rolo in the middle of the pretzel and heat it up a bit. You can put the red nose right on top and the eyes, too. Making a pretzel reindeer with rolo treats is another super simple activity.
A lot of people make reindeer pretzels with Hershey’s kisses, too! I call those reindeer kiss pretzels!
Can you make rolo pretzel reindeers as well?
You can! In fact, that is another really popular reindeer pretzel recipe that a lot of people love. All you need to do is have some rolo candy and substitute that in where the M&M’s are in this recipe.
Just like that, you’ve got a rolo face for your reindeer!
How do you store these reindeer pretzels once made?
You need to keep them in an airtight container or they’re going to get stale. After that, no one is going to want them so don’t be wasteful.
