Chocolate Reindeer Pretzels
Ingredients:

Chocolate
-
Pretzels
-
M&Ms

Candy eyes
Begin by melting your favorite chocolate. Once the chocolate has melted, dip your pretzels in the mixture and lay them flat on parchment paper. Let them cool in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
After taking the pretzels out of the fridge, add a red nose using a Smartie or any red candy and two eyes. Take another pretzel and break off two pieces for the antlers. Attach all these items with icing or some of the melted chocolate used previous and leave it in the fridge to cool for eating! You can add the candy before the pretzels are left to cool in the fridge as well.
Try one of these treats for the holidays and share with your friends or family!
