Instructions
Make the Pretzel Bites
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the pretzel squares onto the baking sheet with a Hershey kiss on each.
- Bake for 3 minutes. Once removed, immediately put an M&M on the top of each one and slightly press down. Set aside to cool.
Make the Reindeer Pretzels
- Melt the chocolate according to the package directions.
- Dip two pretzel rods together into the chocolate about ⅓ of the way and place on a piece of parchment paper. Repeat to make 15 sets. Allow to fully cool.
- Once cooled, repeat the dipping process again for each set coating the pretzels half way.
- Once the chocolate has slightly set but is still soft, put the eyeballs and mini red M&M in place to make the face. Set aside to cool.**
Make the Christmas Puppy Chow
- Combine the cereal, marshmallows and pretzels into a large bowl.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package and drizzle on top of the mixture.
- Once the pieces are coated, spread out onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle on the red and green sanding sugar.
- Dust on the powdered sugar and transfer into your serving bowl. Add the M&Ms on top.
Assemble the Snack Board
- Assemble the board with the Puppy chow in center, the pretzel hugs and chocolate reindeers on each corner.
- Fill in the extra space with marshmallows, M&Ms, raspberries, strawberries, green grapes and cheese or other items you choose.
