Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 12 mini pretzel twists
- 12 red M&Ms , for Rudolph noses
- edible candy eyes
- 2 Tablespoons green M&Ms , for decoration
- 1 teaspoon holiday sprinkles , for decoration
Instructions
- Prep the pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt the chocolate: Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. (Or melt using a double boiler.)
- Spread the base: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread it into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick.
- Decorate: Press the mini pretzels into the chocolate to form antlers. Add a red M&M below each set of pretzels for the nose, then place candy eyes above the nose. Sprinkle additional green M&M’s and festive sprinkles over the top.
- Let set: Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Break and serve: Once set, break the bark into pieces and enjoy or package for gifting.
Notes
- Customize your bark with additional toppings like crushed candy canes or nuts.
- Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Keep it in a cool, dry spot away from heat.
- Refrigerator: You can refrigerate it for longer, but the pretzels may soften slightly over time.
- Freezer: Not recommended since pretzels will lose their crunch and may become chewy once thawed.
