How to Make Reindeer Chocolate Coated Pretzel Rods

  1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  2. Place candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Dip each pretzel twist into the melted candy coating, ensuring it's fully covered.
  5. Place the coated pretzel twists onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Let stand until the coating is set.
  7. Dip the top 2 inches of each pretzel rod into the melted candy coating.
  8. While the coating is still wet, attach each coated pretzel rod to the bottom of a pretzel twist to form the reindeer's body.
  9. Gently press two mini chocolate chips onto the top of each pretzel twist for eyes.
  10. Attach a small red candy to the top of the pretzel twist for the nose using a small amount of melted candy coating.
  11. Cut thin strips from the fruit roll-up for the reindeer's scarf.
  12. Attach the scarf to the reindeer's neck using melted candy coating.
  13. Attach a small green candy to the reindeer's body as a button using melted candy coating.
  14. Place the decorated reindeer pretzel rods back on the baking sheet.
  15. Let stand until the candy coating is completely set.
  16. Store the finished reindeer pretzel rods loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
