Reindeer Rice Krispie Treats
Gather the Ingredients
Begin by gathering your materials. For this project, you will need Rice Krispie Treats, Wilton chocolate candy melts, Wilton peanut butter candy melts, red M&M candies, large candy eyes, popsicle sticks, and small pretzel twists.
First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Go ahead and open the Rice Krispie Treats to get them ready for dipping. Insert a popsicle stick into the base of each Rice Krispie Treat.
Next, place the treats on a plate or sheet pan and set in the fridge for 15 minutes. This will help the popsicle stick to get nice and stuck.
Add the Chocolate Goodness
Now it is time for the chocolate. Pour the Wilton chocolate candy melts into a microwave safe dish. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments stirring occasionally until melted. Remove the melted chocolate from the microwave and dip each Rice Krispie treat.
Use a spoon to carefully coat each treat and allow the access chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the Reindeer Rice Krispie Treat on the lined baking sheet (if it is not lined, it will stick to the pan).
Decorate the Reindeer Rice Krispie Treats
Finally, the fun part of decorating the Reindeer Rice Krispie Treats! Give the reindeer 2 large candy eyes and 2 antlers using the small pretzel twists.
Next, add a snout using 1 peanut butter candy melt. Put a small amount of chocolate on the back of the red M&M candy to help it stick, and then place on top of the peanut butter candy melt for the reindeer’s nose.
It’s as simple as that! Now repeat with all 8 Rice Krispie Treats. Be sure to decorate each Reindeer Rice Krispie Treat completely before moving onto the next. If the chocolate is already dry, the decorations will not stick to it. If it does dry too fast, you can just add a dab of chocolate to the candy or pretzel to act as a glue.
