Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 20 Rolos, unwrapped
- 40 mini pretzels (divided in half, plus a few extra for breakage)
- 20 small round red chocolate candies (any kind)
- 40 candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for melting the Rolos.
- Prepare Pretzels: Separate half of the pretzels and spread the whole pretzels on a baking sheet. Cut the other half of the pretzels in half to create antlers and set aside. Have some extra pretzels ready as some may break.
- Place Rolos: Place one unwrapped Rolo on top of each whole pretzel over the round part.
- Bake: Put the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes until the Rolos become soft and melty.
- Add Noses: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press a red chocolate candy nose onto the bottom center of each melted Rolo.
- Attach Antlers: Stick the halved pretzels onto each side at the top of the Rolo to create the antlers.
- Add Eyes: Place two candy eyes right above the red candy nose to complete the reindeer face.
- Cool and Serve: Let the reindeer pretzels cool so the chocolate firms up and then enjoy your festive treats!
Notes
- Use extra pretzels for antlers in case of breakage during cutting or assembly.
- Work quickly when adding candy after baking to ensure the Rolos are still melty for easy sticking.
- These treats are best served the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
