Description
Celebrate the holidays with this adorable and festive Reindeer Christmas Bark recipe. Made with rich baking chocolate, itty bitty pretzels, candy eyes, and colorful M&Ms, these bite-sized treats create charming reindeer faces perfect for holiday parties or gifting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces baking chocolate chips or almond bark
- 48 itty bitty pretzels
- 48 candy eyes
- 48 brown mini M&Ms (regular M&Ms can also be used)
- 24 red M&Ms
- Holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Break up or chop the baking chocolate into smaller pieces. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Using about 1 tablespoon (0.5 oz) of melted chocolate, spoon onto the parchment paper and swirl with the back of a spoon to create a roughly 2-inch diameter circle. Make sure the layer is not too thin to maintain sturdiness.
- Place two itty bitty pretzels on top of each chocolate circle positioned like antlers.
- Place two candy eyes in the center area of each chocolate circle for the reindeer’s eyes.
- Stand two brown mini M&Ms upright on the outer sides near the pretzels to resemble ears.
- Position one red M&M just below the eyes to serve as the reindeer’s bright red nose.
- Sprinkle holiday sprinkles if desired over the bark, then transfer the baking sheets to the refrigerator. Chill until the chocolate hardens completely, about 15-20 minutes.
