How to make Rolo Reindeer Pretzel Treats
Preheat oven to 230 degrees. While the oven is heating place parchment paper on cookie sheet. Place square pretzels down and put an unwrapped Rolo in each square.
Place in oven for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate. While it’s baking, break the regular pretzels in half. Some of them will break and crumble. It’s okay, just toss those aside or use them. The antlers don’t have to be perfect.
Once the two minutes are up, quickly place the antlers into the melted Rolo and the red M&M in the center of the Rolo.
If you have the edible eyeballs you can also place them accordingly. Once done, place on a the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to harden.
Once hardened, place treats in tin cans to give away to co-workers, family, friends, and neighbors. They make the perfect holiday gift. The sweet and salty combo will definitely satisfy anyone’s taste buds. I served this at our Christmas dinner last year as a snack and everyone ate them up!
