Ingredients
Chocolate Base
- 12 oz chocolate, melted (milk, dark, or white chocolate as preferred)
Decorations
- Pretzels (small twists or sticks for antlers)
- Candy eyes
- Red M&Ms (for the reindeer noses)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Melt 12 oz of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler until smooth and fully melted.
- Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer.
- Decorate: While the chocolate is still soft, place pretzels on the chocolate to resemble reindeer antlers. Add candy eyes and red M&Ms to create the faces.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully harden.
- Break into Pieces: Once set, break the bark into 12 irregular pieces for serving or gifting.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of chocolate for varied flavors.
- Make sure to work quickly while the chocolate is melted to prevent it from hardening before decorating.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
- Great for holiday gift exchanges or party favors.
