Salty & Sweet Christmas Treat
It’s that time of year when we bake up a storm, cookie swap like crazy and make gift baskets for all of our friends and families. This year I tried out a new dessert recipe and it happens to make the perfect holiday party treat OR that something special for friends or colleagues.
What’s salty, chocolatey and festive? These Reindeer Antlers – yummy and cute!
Pretzels and chocolate — is there a better combination? There really aren’t many things better than great chocolate and Dove totally has you covered. Click to sweeten the holidays with Silky Smooth Dove Chocolate.
Pair this treat with a small glass of milk and you have the perfect surprise for that after school snack (that is if you don’t eat them before the kids get home!).
Reindeer Antlers
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups DOVE® Chocolate
3/4 cup M&M’S® Brand MINIS®
1 bag pretzel sticks, broken into various sized pieces
Reynolds® Parchment Paper
To Make:
1. Remove 3/4 cup red and green M&M’S® Brand MINIS® and set aside for decoration.
2. Line a baking sheet with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
3. Melt the DOVE® Chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water. Stir the mixture as it melts. When mixture is shiny and smooth, turn off the heat.
4. Once all the chocolate is melted, dip the pretzel pieces one at a time and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet into an antler shape. Place the M&M’S® Brand MINIS® on each antler as it is finished.
5. Repeat this same process until all the antlers are finished.
6. Let the chocolate cool completely and get firm. You can refrigerate to firm the chocolate more quickly.
7. Once firm, remove them from the Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
8. If desired, wrap each one in a sheet of cellophane, tied with a ribbon or simply put them on a cookie plate.
Tip: Add red M&M’S® Brand MINIS® to form the red nose.

Sounds like a great recipe, but I don’t see any mention of peanut butter in the ingredients. Are you supposed to use the Dove peanut butter chocolates?
I read the same thing, no mention of peanut butter, should i dip in melted peanut butter first then chocolate.
This is so cute and looks easy I’m definitely gonna try this.

These are super cute! I think I will try this with my stepson.
I believe the “peanut butter” was a typing error, it was supposed to be “pretzel”. But these are delicious!
I love mixing pretzels and chocolate…these are cute!
The reason why I asked about the peanut butter is that I’m a member of Crowdtap, and we were asked to share this recipe on Facebook. The title of the post had “peanut butter” in it.
Looks so yummy & very easy to make…
This looks so cute and easy! I can’t wait to try it!
