    Here’s what you need:
    Large Marshmallows (I prefer Jet-Puffed over the store brand)
    Lollipop sticks, popsicle sticks, or pretzel sticks
    Ribbon
    Melting Chocolate (I prefer the ones you buy at the craft store for their smooth texture)
    Cinnamon dots, Hot Tamales or Mike & Ike’s Reds
    Small Pretzels
    Pearl Sprinkles (or other candies for the eyes)
    Foam block

    Break the pretzels in half. It was not an easy task to get them all to break properly, so make sure to have plenty on hand. You need two halves for each reindeer’s antlers.

    Snip just the ends of the Hot Tamales or Mike & Ike’s, or count out your cinnamon dots

    Put the marshmallows on the stick, and push them into the foam block. This saves you from having to do that with melted chocolate on them.

    Once your assembly line is set, it’s time to melt your chocolate.

    Place chocolate melts or chocolate chips in a microwaveable glass bowl. Microwave on high at 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time until chocolate is just melted, but not too hot.

    Dip a marshmallow into the chocolate, covering it entirely. Use the backside of a spoon to smooth out the side and top, and to remove any excess. Place it back into the foam block and repeat the process on the next marshmallow.

    After about five or six marshmallows, add the pretzel antlers, by gently inserting them into the scored parts of the marshmallows, and hold them for a few seconds to make sure they are secure. This took some practice!

    For the nose and eyes, you can either add them when the chocolate is still wet, or finish the whole batch, then dab some melted chocolate onto each piece and attach it to the marshmallow to make the face. I did it both ways, but decided the second way was easier.

    Once they are completely dry, tie a small piece of ribbon around the stick like a scarf.
