Easy Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Reindeer

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (or milk chocolate), melted
  • 12 mini pretzels (for antlers)
  • 24 candy eyes (store-bought or homemade)
  • 12 red candy noses (like red M&M’s or candy pearls)
  • Toothpicks or lollipop sticks
  • Parchment paper (for setting the marshmallows)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Marshmallows:
    • Insert a toothpick or lollipop stick into each marshmallow, making them easier to dip in chocolate.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the dipped marshmallows to set.
  • Melt the Chocolate:
    • Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
  • Dip the Marshmallows:
    • Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
    • Place the dipped marshmallow on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Add the Decorations:
    • While the chocolate is still wet, press two mini pretzels on top of the marshmallow to form the reindeer’s antlers.
    • Add two candy eyes and one red candy nose to create the face.
    • Repeat for all the marshmallows.
  • Let Them Set:
    • Allow the chocolate-covered marshmallows to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once the chocolate is set, your Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Reindeer are ready to serve!
