Reindeer Marshmallow Pops
Ingredients:
10 large marshmallows
12 oz dark chocolate candy melts
Mini pretzel twists
Small candy eyes
Red M&M’s or red Sixlets for the reindeer’s nose
10 candy sticks
Toothpicks
Parchment or foil lined baking sheet
Directions:
1. Insert 1 candy stick into the base of each marshmallow.
2. Pour the candy melts into a microwavable safe dish. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in-between, until melted.
3. Allow the chocolate to cool for a few minutes.
4. Dip each marshmallow in the chocolate and allow the excess melted chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
5. Place two mini pretzel twists on the parchment or foil lined baking sheet and lay the marshmallow on top of them.
6. Add a red “nose” (M&M or Sixlet).
7. Repeat this step with all the marshmallows.
8. Allow them to set for about 20-30 minutes.
9. Once the chocolate has set give each reindeer two eyes. Dip a toothpick in the melted chocolate (you may need to re-heat), dab a little chocolate on the back of each candy eye, and then dab a little chocolate on the Reindeer’s “head”.
10. Enjoy!
