Looking for a fun and easy holiday treat idea? These reindeer pretzels are easy to make with just 4 ingredients. Great to make with kids and grandkids to get into the holiday spirit!
Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Place half (24 pretzels) on the baking sheet, and add a rolo candy onto the bottom half of the pretzel. Place the pan into the oven for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. (I discovered that 90 seconds is idea. Anything more than 2 minutes and the rolo will be too melted and runny. 90 seconds helps the candy soften, but not overly melt.)
Remove from the oven and add a single red M&M to the top of the rolo for the reindeer nose. Above the red M&M add two candy eyes.
Break the other 24 pretzels in half. Place the two halves (single broken pretzel) on either side of the softened rolo acting as the reindeer antlers.
Let the reindeer come to room temperature and the chocolate firm up. You can also place them in the refrigerator to firm up for un-messy handling.
Notes
Storage: Store the cooled reindeer pretzels into an airtight container or zip-lock bag. The pretzel snacks will keep for up to 2 weeks or longer when stored in an airtight container. Snacks can be kept at room temperature.
