Reindeer Pretzels
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!
Equipment
- Sheet Pan These USA Stainless steel sheet pans are great for Christmas baking!
- Parchment Paper Sheets These pre-cut parchment paper sheet are fantastic & super convenient!
Ingredients
- 24 Rolo candies chocolate caramel candies
- 48 mini pretzel twists
- 24 M M candies using the red M&M's
- 48 candy eyes like Wilton brand
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees
- 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.
