Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat: Set the oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep everything from sticking.
  • Cut Antlers: Slice each mini pretzel twist in half to create the reindeer antlers.
  • Arrange Base: Lay the whole pretzels on the baking sheet with the rounded edge at the top, this will be the body.
  • Add Rolo: Place one Rolo candy right in the center of each pretzel.
  • Warm Chocolate: Pop the baking sheet into the oven for about 2 minutes, just until the chocolate softens but doesn’t melt completely.
  • Insert Antlers: Carefully press the pretzel halves into the top of each softened Rolo to make the antlers.
  • Add Nose: Gently press an M&M toward the bottom of the Rolo to form the reindeer’s nose.
  • Place Eyes: Stick candy eyeballs above the nose to give each reindeer its cute, playful expression.
  • Chill: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes or the freezer for 5–10 minutes to let the chocolate set.
  • Serve: Once they’re firm, these festive little pretzel reindeer with Rolos are ready to serve and share. Enjoy!
