Course Dessert
Prep Time 13 minutes
Cook Time 2 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 20 reindeer pretzels

Ingredients

  • 40 mini pretzel twists
  • 20 Rolos, unwrapped
  • 40 candy eyeballs
  • 20 brown or red M&Ms for the noses

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut each pretzel twist in half down the middle.
  • Place the whole pretzels on the baking sheet, with the rounded edge facing up.
  • Place a Rolo on each pretzel.
  • Place the baking sheet with the pretzels and Rolos in the oven until the chocolate softens, but doesn’t melt. This will take about 2 minutes.
  • Insert the antlers (pretzel halves) into the top of the Rolos.
  • Place the M&M at the bottom of the Rolos to create the nose.
  • Place the candy eyeballs above the nose.
  • Place pretzels in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes or the freezer for 5-10 minutes until they set. 

Notes

This recipe makes 20 Reindeer Rolo Pretzels.
If you’d like to double or triple the batch, we recommend baking and decorating about 20 pretzels at a time.
The Rolos set quickly once out of the oven, so working in smaller batches makes assembly easier.
