Ingredients

4 total
  • 100g milk chocolate
  • 40 pretzels
  • 2 (360g) packs Mini M&Ms
  • 50g white decorating icing

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave for 30 secs.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange 20 of the pretzels on a tray lined with a sheet of baking paper. Break another 20 pretzels in half and set to one side for the antlers. Sift out 20 red sweets from the Mini M&Ms for the reindeer noses.

  3. Step 3

    Using a teaspoon, dollop melted chocolate into the middle of each pretzel. Add a red M&M nose, then fix the antlers – half a broken pretzel on each side. Chill for 15 mins or until set.

  4. Step 4

    Add 2 small circles of white chocolate decorating icing onto each reindeer for eyes, followed by a dot more of the melted chocolate for the pupils. Chill for 10 mins until set.
