Ingredients

Chocolate Melting Wafers (or chocolate chips)
Large Marshmallows
Mini Pretzel Twists
Red Candies (like M&Ms or mini M&Ms)
Candy Eyeballs
Lollipop Sticks (you can use 6 or 8-inch)

Step 1 – Melt Chocolate

Melt your chocolate wafers according to the directions on the package. We use Ghirardelli dark chocolate because it’s amazing, but you can use whatever type of chocolate you prefer.

Step 2 – Make Antlers

Now, for the antlers for your marshmallow Christmas Treat, break your mini twist pretzels in half and set them aside. Some may be unusable due to the way they break, but that’s okay. More for snacking 🙂

We find pressing with our fingers where we want them to break produces the best result.

Step 3 – Stick ‘Em

Now, place a lollipop stick into the bottom of a large marshmallow. Dip the marshmallow into the melted chocolate and swirl around, making sure your marshmallow is completely covered. You can use a spoon to make sure every bit is covered.

Tip – score the marshmallow with a knife where you want the antlers placed to make them easier to insert.

Step 4 – Insert Antlers

Next, insert an antler pretzel on each side of the marshmallow. The side works better than the top because it spreads them out a bit.

Step 5 – Attach Nose

Now, attach your candy nose and candy eyeballs and step back, and admire your work!

Allow them to dry fully before moving them around too much.

Step 6 – Enjoy

Finally, it’s time to show off your creation!

Fill a short vase or mug with red and green chocolate candy and stick in your completed Marshmallow Reindeer Treats for an edible yet cheery display for your holiday dessert table!

Tips for Making and Sharing Your Marshmallow Reindeer Recipe

• You’ll go through a few more pretzel twists than you need because they don’t always break in the right spot to make them look like antlers. We just used these for snacking.
• For large parties, double the batch!
• These cute, bright nosed little Reindeer treats make a merry addition to gift bags. Just place them sticking straight up when tying each gift bag closed.
• For fun, you can tie a ribbon around the stick to add a touch of whimsy.
• To display your Reindeer Marshmallow Pops, place them in a vase or mug filled with holiday candy.
