Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Reindeer Pretzels
  1. Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 30-second increments until melted and smooth.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass or deep bowl for easy dipping.
  4. Immerse the ends of two mini pretzel rods into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip back.
  5. Place the chocolate-dipped pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're spaced apart.
  6. While the chocolate is warm, place two candy eyes and one red M&M on each pretzel.
  7. Let the pretzels sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
  8. Arrange the Reindeer Pretzels on a platter or package in bags for gifting.
