Pretzels – Mini-pretzels are recommended for this recipe as they are a perfect size.
Eyeballs– I always have a pack of these candy eyeballs in my pantry.
How to make Reindeer Treats
There are a few steps to make these, but I promise, they are all easy.
- Separate the donut wholes, and break apart the pretzels to create antlers.
2, Press one set of antlers in each ball, using two pretzels for each.
3. Using the icing, attach a pair of eyeballs to each ball.
4. Now you are going to add the nose with the red icing. Just make a little ball with the icing.

SO cute. Des has recently gotten into donut holes so we get a 10 pack or so. I think I'll up it to make a bunch of these! They'd look great in chocolate too.
