30square pretzelssnaps

Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat and set aside.
To create the reindeer antlers, cut each pretzel twist in half lengthwise using a serrated knife.
30 mini pretzel twists
Place chocolate chips in a shallow, microwave safe bowl. Melt the chocolate (and coconut oil, if using )in the microwave in 30 second increments at 50% power, stirring until smooth.
1¼ cups semi sweet chocolate chips, ½ teaspoon coconut oil
Assembly
Use a fork or dipping tool to dip a square pretzel into the melted chocolate. Gently tap the fork against the bowl to shake off any excess chocolate. Transfer the chocolate covered pretzel to the prepared baking sheet.
30 square pretzels
For the antlers, quickly attach two pretzel twist halves to the top of the square.
Add a red M&M to the bottom to make the nose. And finally add two candy eyes right above the red M&M.
30 M&Ms, 60 candy eyeballs
Repeat with the remaining pretzels until all reindeer have been assembled.
Let the reindeers set up for at least an hour before serving.
Notes
Storage InformationStore leftovers in an airtight container for up to 10 days. Do not refrigerate.I do not recommend freezing these treats. The chocolate will discolor, the eyeballs will bleed and the pretzels will soften when thawed.
