Ingredients

  • 40 mini pretzels
  • 20 Rolos
  • 20 Red Hots or Cinnamon Imperials
  • 40 candy eyes

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put 20 mini pretzels flat on the parchment paper.
  • Cut Pretzels for Antlers: Carefully cut the remaining 20 mini pretzels in half using a sharp knife. These halves will serve as reindeer antlers.
  • Unwrap 20 Rolos and put them on top of the 20 whole pretzels that are already on the baking sheet.
  • Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 3 minutes. You want the Rolos to soften but not melt entirely.
  • Once out of the oven, immediately put on the candy eyes, followed by the Red Hots or Cinnamon Imperials for noses, and finally the pretzel halves for antlers. Do this while everything is still warm, so they stick well.
  • Let them sit until the Rolos harden again. This makes sure all the parts stick together well.

Notes

  • Be quick but gentle while assembling to make sure everything sticks before the Rolos cool down.
  • If you're making these ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
