How To Make This Reindeer Pretzels Recipe

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

STEP TWO: Unwrap the Rolo candy and set it aside.

STEP THREE: Separate half of the pretzels and spread one half on the baking sheet.

STEP FOUR: With the remaining half of the pretzels, cut them in half, and these will be used for the antlers (you will need some extra because some will break). Set aside.

STEP FIVE: To the pretzels on the baking sheet, place one unwrapped Rolo on top of each pretzel over the single round part of the pretzel.

STEP SIX: Put the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes or until the Rolo has gotten soft and melty.

STEP SEVEN: Remove the baking pan and add the red candy nose to the bottom center of the melted chocolate, pushing down gently on the Rolo as you add the candy.

STEP EIGHT: Add the antlers by sticking the pretzels onto each side at the top of each Rolo.

STEP NINE: Add the edible candy eyes right above the red candy nose on top of the chocolate.

STEP TEN: Let them cool to solidify and enjoy!

Storage

IN THE FRIDGE/ON THE COUNTER: You should store these Rolo pretzel reindeer in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to keep them fresh and looking good. Room temperature is fine for these fun snacks, or in the fridge will ensure that it doesn’t get too warm for the chocolate.

IN THE FREEZER: These chocolate reindeer pretzels don’t tend to freeze very well, so we would recommend making them fresh.

I am absolutely obsessed with these cute little reindeer treats. They are so darling! Not only is this adorable little holiday snack lots of fun to make, but they are also delicious as well. They’re tasty, with an addictive sweet and salty combination you’ll love.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 40 mini pretzels, divided (plus a few more in case of breakage)
• 20 Rolos
• 20 small round red chocolate candie of any kind
• 40 candy eyes

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Unwrap the Rolos and set aside.
• Separate half of the pretzels and spread one half on the baking sheet.
• With the remaining half of the pretzels, cut them in half, and these will be used for the antlers (you will need some extra because some will break). Set aside.
• To the pretzels on the baking sheet, place one unwrapped Rolo on top of each pretzel over the single round part of the pretzel.
• Put the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes or until the Rolos have gotten soft and melty.
• Remove the baking pan and add the red candy nose to the bottom center of the Rolo, pushing down gently on the Rolo as you add the candy.

Notes

• You will need some extra pretzels for the pretzel antlers because some will break.
• Make sure the rest of your ingredients are ready to go as soon as the pan comes out of the oven, as you will need to finish the faces quickly before the Rolo chocolate sets.  
• While it is hard to be patient, make sure to let these reindeer cool completely before serving them.
