Each year the kids and I go to a holiday cookie swap and early in the season I begin looking for some fun and easy holiday treats to make. These Reindeer Antlers are great to do with the kids, they are only 3 ingredients and they are cute as can be! Perfect for holiday cookie swaps, school parties or any family-friendly events you might attend. Just beware, these can get a little messy! But, that is the best part, right?
If you are looking for ideas for your holiday cookie swaps, head over to the Bright Ideas site for more great recipes and tips. One of my favorite ideas, was this cute Reindeer Favors craft.
- 1¾ cups DOVE® Chocolate
- ¾ cup M&M’S® Brand MINIS®
- 1 bag pretzel sticks, broken into various sized pieces
- Reynolds® Parchment Paper
- 1. Remove ¾ cup red and green M&M’S® Brand MINIS® and set aside for decoration.
- 2. Line a baking sheet with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
- 3. Melt the DOVE® Chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water. Stir the mixture as it melts. When mixture is shiny and smooth, turn off the heat.
- 4. Once all the chocolate is melted, dip the pretzel pieces one at a time and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet into an antler shape. Place the M&M’S® Brand MINIS® on each antler as it is finished.
- 5. Repeat this same process until all the antlers are finished.
- 6. Let the chocolate cool completely and get firm. You can refrigerate to firm the chocolate more quickly.
- 7. Once firm, remove them from the Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
- 8. If desired, wrap each one in a sheet of cellophane, tied with a ribbon or simply put them on a cookie plate.
