Rudolph the Reindeer Pops
Makes 4 Pops

What You’ll Need:
2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate candy bark
2 or 2-1/2 inch circle cutter
4 lollipop sticks or paper straws
4-6 mini tree-shaped pretzels (If unavailable, square pretzels will work too)
Red candies (M&MS, Red Hots, gum drops or peppermints—your choice!)
8 candy eyes
Holiday ribbon

What You’ll Do:

1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt chocolate in a bowl in the microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring well between intervals until smooth.

2. Pour chocolate into the circle cutters that are placed on parchment paper. Fill the cutter about 1/2” thick with chocolate. Allow chocolate to cool for 2 to 3 minutes and lift cutter up. The chocolate will spread just a little.

3. Push a lollipop stick (or paper straw) into the chocolate, and twist to coat with the chocolate.

4. Place two tree-shaped pretzels at the top of the reindeer’s head for antlers. If using square pretzels, snap one square pretzel in half for the antlers.

5. Add a nose (red candy) and candy eyes.

6. Let pops harden for about 30 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet. Once dry, tie on a cute ribbon or bow tie and enjoy!
