Ingredients
  

  • 2 bags dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • small pretzels
  • holiday sprinkles
  • 1 red candy coated chocolate
  • candy eyes

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. To make pretzel antlers, cut mini pretzels in half lengthwise. Use a small knife to trim them into antler shapes, similar to the images above.
  2. Combine chocolate and coconut in a bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until the chocolate is fully melted.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to form a quarter-inch thick rectangle.
  4. Sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the melted chocolate.
  5. To make the reindeer faces, place a red chocolate candy on the chocolate piece to represent the reindeer’s nose. Position two eyes closely together just above the chocolate piece. Attach the pretzel antlers above the eyes.
  6. Freeze the chocolate sheet for 15 minutes or overnight. Once set, cut the chocolate into pieces.
  7. Refrigerate, freeze, or arrange in gift boxes for a delightful holiday treat.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Get those clean cuts by giving your Chocolate Reindeer Bark a quick thaw after freezing. It’s the secret to a polished and perfect presentation!
  • Tip 2: Melt your chocolate in short bursts, stirring between each so that you get velvety smooth chocolate and don’t burn it.
  • Tip 3: Feel free to go wild with those pretzel antlers! Experiment with shapes to add a touch of whimsy to your Chocolate Reindeer Bark.
  • Tip 4: Turn decorating into a family affair! Let the kids dive in for a personal touch that’s all about fun and shared memories.
  • Tip 5: Before you gift, make sure your bark is firm, and then jazz up the packaging with festive boxes or bags. It’s the perfect gift with a personal touch.
