Step-by-Step Instructions for Reindeer Pretzels

  • Prepare Your Workstation: Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Reindeer Pretzels. Set up your workspace with a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy assembly and cleanup.
  • Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add your chosen chocolate melts and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Coat the Pretzels: Dip each pretzel twist into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's well-coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, then lay the pretzel on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Add Decorative Toppings: While the chocolate is still warm, place two candy eyes and one red M&M on each coated pretzel to create your reindeer face.
  • Chill to Set: Once decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
  • Serve and Enjoy: After the chocolate has set, remove the Reindeer Pretzels from the refrigerator and serve them at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure chocolate consistency is smooth and glossy; add a teaspoon of vegetable oil if it thickens. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
