Reindeer Rolo Pretzels

Salty pretzels pair with creamy Rolo chocolate caramel candy and a couple of other ingredients to make these adorably festive little sweet treats.

📝 Ingredients

• 48 mini pretzel twists
• 48 candy eyes
• 24 dark chocolate salted caramel Rolos
• 24 M&M's (red and brown)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 250°F and use parchment paper to line a baking sheet.
2. 2Cut half of the pretzel twists down the middle with a sharp knife and one swift movement, to make the antlers. Some may break unevenly and that’s ok. You can match them up with ones similar in size or cut some extra ones.
3. 3add: Now put the whole pretzels on the prepared baking tray and add an unwrapped Rolo candy on top, towards the bottom half. It’s best to leave some room at the top to help hold the antlers up while the chocolate is setting.
4. 4bake: Put the tray in the oven and bake for 2 or 3 minutes, until the outer chocolate softens a bit but doesn’t melt completely and flatten out. The Rolo should still hold its shape. If it does get too melty, the nose and eyeballs might droop.
5. 5press: Take them out of the oven and begin to add the antlers onto each one. Put 2 antlers on the top side of the Rolos by gently pressing into the chocolate, letting the antlers rest it on the bottom pretzel.
6. 6add: Once you’ve added the antlers you can add the facial features. Carefully add 2 eyeballs to the top half of the Rolo and add an M&M candy on the bottom half to be the nose, pressing down a little so it sticks into the chocolate.
7. 7set: Let the chocolates harden back up before serving these treats.
