Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 12 mini pretzels
  • 12 red M&M's, for the noses

Candy eyes

  • 2 tablespoons green M&M's, for decoration
  • 1 teaspoon sprinkles, optional, for extra festive flair

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the chocolate from sticking.
  • Melt the Chocolate: Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
    2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • Create the Chocolate Base: Pour the melted milk chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to about ¼ inch thick.
  • Decorate with Reindeer Faces: Place the 12 mini pretzels onto the chocolate for the reindeer antlers. Add 12 red M&M's below the pretzels for the reindeer noses. Place candy eyes above the noses to complete the reindeer faces.
    12 mini pretzels, 12 red M&M's
  • Add Green M&M's and Sprinkles: Scatter the green M&M's and 1 teaspoon of sprinkles over the bark while the chocolate is still wet for added festive color and texture.
    2 tablespoons green M&M's, 1 teaspoon sprinkles
  • Set the Chocolate: Let the bark sit at room temperature until fully set, or place it in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
  • Break and Serve: Once the chocolate is completely set, break it into pieces with your hands. Enjoy your festive reindeer bark or package it as a holiday treat for friends and family!

Notes

  • Use good-quality chocolate for smoother bark
  • Add toppings before the chocolate sets
  • Refrigerate for faster setting if needed
