Preparation Steps

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt the dark chocolate chips according to package directions (microwave or double boiler). Stir until smooth. Dip each pretzel rod into the melted dark chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the rod. Let any excess chocolate drip off.

• Place the chocolate-dipped pretzel rods on the prepared baking sheet. While the dark chocolate is still wet, attach a mini red candy to the upper part of the chocolate-dipped section to create the reindeer's nose.

• For the antlers, carefully place two small pretzel stick pieces on either side of the top of the chocolate-dipped section, pressing them gently into the wet chocolate.

• Melt the white chocolate chips. Using a piping bag with a small tip or a fork, draw two small white circles above the reindeer's nose for eyes. Alternatively, attach edible candy eyes before the dark chocolate fully sets.
