Instructions

Take your mini pretzel twist and break off one side to form an antler. They don't always break the way you want them to, so you're gonna have a few snacking pieces :)
Unwrap your Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. You can either unwrap them all at once or one by one. Melt your chocolate morsels in the microwave for about 30 seconds. If they stir easily they are done; if not, put them back in the microwave for a few more seconds. Once melted, place the chocolate in a sandwich baggie and snip off the tip. Set aside
Take a set of pretzel antlers and press them into the side of the Reese's Peanut Butter cup. We find that there is the perfect spot where the manufacturing process left less chocolate, and the pretzels slid right in!
Grab your baggie of melted chocolate and place a dab of chocolate where you want the cinnamon candy or M&M nose to go. Next, place a dab of chocolate where you want the eyes and attached them there. Eat and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Don't handle these little Reindeer too much. The chocolate tends to melt!
Eat the Day you Make: To retain freshness, make and eat these guys on the same day.
