Ingredients

• 2 ounces melted and tempered pure chocolate or melted Light Cocoa Candy Melts
• 24 candy eyes (1/4 inch or 3/8 inch)
• 24 candy antlers from Wiltons Rudolph kit
• 12 candy noses from Wiltons Rudolph kit
• 1 green or multi-colored Fruit Roll-Ups
• 2 ounces brown candy clay
• 2 ounces green candy clay
• 12 red M&Ms candies

Directions

• Set one Reeses Cup on your work surface.
• Brush a dab of melted chocolate in the center on top of the Reeses Cup.
• Allow that to set up a bit then set another Reeses Cup on its side down onto the melted chocolate.
• Hold the candy in place until the chocolate sets and the Reeses Cup stays upright.
• Attach 2 candy eyes to the top, back edge, of the upright Reeses Cup using dabs of chocolate as edible glue.
• Attach 1 red candy nose and 2 candy antlers to the upright Reeses Cup using chocolate.
• Cut 3/8 inch wide strips from the Fruit Roll-Ups sheet.
• Wrap a strip of Fruit Roll-Ups around the base of the upright Reeses Cup forming a scarf.
• Roll out brown candy clay to about 1/8th of an inch thickness.
• Cut out 24 small leaves (or antlers) using a 1 - 1/2 inch cookie cutter.
• If using a leaf cutter you may need to cut off a bit to get an antler shape.
• Attach two antlers to the back side of each upright Reeses Cup.
• Roll out the green candy clay to about 1/16th of an inch thickness.
• Cut twelve 3/8th inch wide by 6 or 7 inch long strips.
• Wrap one strip around the base of each upright Reeses Cup forming a scarf.
• Cut off the ends of the strip so you can a nice length of scarf on each Rudolph.
