Ingredients

  • 10 Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups unwrapped
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • 20 pretzel sticks
  • 10 red M&Ms
  • 20 candy eyes

Instructions

  • Unwrap the Reese's and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips at 15 second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted.
  • Use the chocolate to "glue" the reindeer features into place.
  • Place a large dab of chocolate directly on the parchment paper and press 2 pretzel sticks into it.
  • Add another drop of chocolate onto that and press the Reese's onto it. This forms the reindeer's antlers.
  • Add a dab of chocolate towards the bottom of the Reese's for the nose, and two small dabs for the eyes.
  • Put the baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden before serving.

Notes

  • Use a lollipop stick to set the melted chocolate in place before you add the candy eyes or nose.
