Ingredients
- 2 ounce bags dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- small pretzels
- holiday sprinkles
- red candy coated chocolate
- Candy eyes
Instructions
- To make pretzel antlers, cut mini pretzels in half lengthwise. Use a small knife to trim them into antler shapes, similar to the images above.
- Combine chocolate and coconut in a bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to form a quarter-inch thick rectangle.
- Sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the melted chocolate.
- To make the reindeer faces, place a red chocolate candy on the chocolate piece to represent the reindeer's nose. Position two eyes closely together just above the chocolate piece. Attach the pretzel antlers above the eyes.
- Freeze the chocolate sheet for 15 minutes or overnight. Once set, cut the chocolate into pieces. Refrigerate, freeze, or arrange in gift boxes for a delightful holiday treat.
