Description

Ingredients

• 1 Hersheys Milk Chocolate Candy Bar per reindeer
• 2 squares of caramel per reindeer
• 2 candy eyes per reindeer*
• 1 red Peanut M&M per reindeer
• kitchen shears (scissors)
• optional, a leaf shaped cookie cutter (or use a large reindeer cookie cutter)
• *I used 1/2 inch royal icing eyes that I purchased from a cake/candy supply store (on-line), but you can also draw a black pupil using a food coloring marker on any small white candies like M&Ms, Smarties, or white chocolate chips.

Directions

• Unwrap your candy bars and caramels.
• Flatten the caramels, by pressing on them with your fingers. If necessary, heat them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften them.
• Use kitchen shears to cut an oval that is about 2/3rds of the width of your candy bars.
• Press the oval near the bottom edge of your candy bar.
• Press one red Peanut M&M into the caramel oval.
• Press one tiny piece of caramel onto the back of each candy eye then press the eyes onto the candy bars just above the caramel oval.
• Use a leave cookie cutter or kitchen shears to cut antlers. I cut out a leaf then cut it in half and it worked perfectly.
• Press the caramel antlers onto the top half of the candy bar.
• Serve them on a platter at your party, or wrap them in clear cellophane bags to give as Christmas treats.
