Adorable and Easy Reindeer Bark Recipe Everyone Will Love
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate chips (or almond bark)
- 12–16 mini pretzel twists
- 24 candy eyes (2 per reindeer)
- 12 red M&M’s or similar red candies (for noses)
- Crushed candy canes
- Holiday sprinkles
- Mini marshmallows
- White chocolate drizzle
- Sea salt flakes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a smooth, rich base.
- Almond bark works well for firmer texture and easy melting.
- Pretzels create cute antlers — mini twists or broken sticks both work!
- Add peppermint extract for a minty version or a sprinkle of orange zest for a twist.
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Ensure it fits in your fridge.
- Microwave chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Don’t overheat.
- Pour melted chocolate onto the parchment and spread into a 9×13-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- While chocolate is still melted, place pretzels as antlers, add two candy eyes, and a red candy for the nose. Repeat across the surface.
- Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, sprinkles, or drizzle with white chocolate.
- Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes or until hardened.
- Break or cut into pieces, ensuring each piece has a full reindeer face. Store in an airtight container.
