Reindeer Pretzels Ingredients:

You can get the full list of ingredients with measurements in the recipe card below.

• Mini twist pretzels – These are the only shape that will work.
• Vanilla almond bark – Vanilla almond bark is so easy to work with. It melts easily and can be reheated if it cools and you’re not done using it. Plus, it tastes like chocolate, which is a plus. You can use white chocolate chips, but chocolate chips burn easily when you’re melting them and you’re not able to remelt them if they cool while you’re using them. So they’re not my first choice.
• Candy eyeballs – The small size works best.
• Sugar pearls – You want both red and black sugar pearls.

How To Make Reindeer Pretzels:

Lay your mini pretzels on a silicone baking mat-lined cookie sheet. Make sure the rounded parts of the pretzels are on the “top.”

If you don’t have a silicone baking mat (which I highly suggest you purchase because it makes life so much easier), you can line the cookie sheet with parchment paper instead.

Melt the vanilla almond bark in the microwave according to the package.

The easiest way to do this is to microwave it for a minute and stir it. Then, microwave it for 30 seconds, and stir again. Repeat at 30 second intervals until the almond bark is completely melted.

Pour the melted almond bark into a pastry bag.

If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can use a ziptop bag. Just pour the melted almond bark in and cut off a small portion of the corner of the bag.

Using the almond bark, paint a triangle- or circle-shaped white section on the “bottom” section of the mini pretzel twist.

You’ll want to make sure to add enough to fill the holes on the bottom section. If not, the almond bark will fall through the holes and won’t leave you with a flat surface for the face.

Add two candy eyeballs for the eyes.

Add either a red sugar pearl (to make Rudolph) or a black sugar pearl (to make one of the other reindeer).

Continue until you’ve finished all the pretzels.

Put the entire cookie sheet in the fridge for at least 20 minutes until the chocolate is cooled.

Remove the reindeer pretzels from the cookie sheet and put them in an air tight container in the fridge until you’re ready to serve them.
