Reindeer Bark is a festive, no-bake chocolate treat layered with mini pretzels, candy eyes, and red M&M noses to create adorable reindeer faces. Perfect for Christmas parties, gifting, or fun holiday activities with kids.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
  • 24 mini pretzels (for antlers)
  • 24 candy eyes
  • 12 red M&Ms (for noses)
  • Sea salt (optional)
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  3. Pour melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined sheet and spread evenly into a thin rectangle.
  4. While the chocolate is still warm, press two mini pretzels near the top of each section for antlers.
  5. Place candy eyes just below the pretzels and a red M&M below the eyes to form a reindeer face.
  6. Optional: drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt for extra flavor and decoration.
  7. Let the bark set completely at room temperature or chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.
  8. Once firm, break or cut into pieces, ensuring each piece has a complete reindeer face.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free pretzels and candy for a gluten-free version.
  • Press toppings firmly into warm chocolate to ensure they stick.
  • Store in the fridge if your kitchen is warm to prevent melting.
  • Great for kids to help with decorating.
