Scale
- 4 cups Cracker Jack popcorn (or caramel popcorn)
- 1/2 cup mini pretzels (for antlers)
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate (milk or dark)
- 1/4 cup red candy-coated chocolates (for noses)
- 1/2 cup candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the popcorn: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the Cracker Jack popcorn.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Assemble the reindeer:
- Use the melted chocolate to “glue” two mini pretzels on top of each popcorn cluster as antlers.
- Add candy eyes just below the pretzels.
- Place a red candy-coated chocolate in the center as the nose.
- Let set: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy: Serve as a festive snack or package in treat bags for holiday gifts!
Notes
- Want extra crunch? Add crushed peanuts or toffee bits.
- Make it nut-free: Use regular caramel popcorn instead of Cracker Jack.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
