Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the chocolate from sticking.
  • 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.
  • Pour the melted milk chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to about ¼ inch thick.
  • 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.
  • Scatter the green M&M's and sprinkles over the bark while the chocolate is still wet for added festive color and texture.
  • 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.
  • Once the chocolate is completely set, break it into pieces with your hands. Enjoy your festive reindeer bark or package it up as a holiday treat for friends and family!

Notes

  • Press the pretzels, candy eyes, and M&M’s gently but firmly into the melted chocolate. This helps them stay in place once the chocolate sets and prevents pieces from falling off when breaking the bark.
  • Once set, use your hands or a knife to break the bark into pieces, leaving the reindeer faces intact where possible. Alternatively, cut into squares for a more uniform look.
  • Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate. Avoid the freezer, as rapid cooling can cause the chocolate to develop a dull or uneven surface.
