What You’ll Need

12 mini Chocolate Donuts

1/4 cup Chocolate Chips, Melted

12 Mini-Pretzels

24 Candy Eyes

12 Mini-Nilla Wafers

12 Red M&M’s

How to Make Reindeer Donuts

Set 12 mini-chocolate donuts on parchment paper.

Melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, to use as ‘glue.’

Break a pretzel and push each half into the top of the donuts for antlers.

Using a toothpick, put a small dollop of melted chocolate on the back of 1 mini-Nilla Wafer and ‘glue’ to the lower center.

Using the same method, ‘glue’ 2 candy eyes just above the wafer.

Again, do the same on the back of 1 red M&M (brown M&M’s would work, too!) and ‘glue’ it on top of the wafer.

Repeat with remaining donuts.

Let harden.
