Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking Tray
  • Chopping Board
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 Cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 Packet Eye Candies
  • 2 Bars Dark Chocolate
  • 2 Cups Marshmallows
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

  • Grease a shallow baking tray, preferably a 9-inch pan. 2. Measure out the ingredients and set them aside in bowls.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add the marshmallows. Stir the mixture for about a minute and a half. 
  • Pour the cream into a bowl containing the rice Krispies and mix with a spatula making sure all the Krispies are coated with the cream. 
  • Gently scoop the mixture into a round, greased baking tray. 
  • Set aside the tray, and let the mixture rest for two hours to set firmly.
  • Turn the set bar from the tray onto a chopping board, preferably round in shape. 
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the set mixture into half, then cut the halves to form quarters, and lastly cut the quarters to form eighths. It would be nice to use a ruler to determine the exact center of the circle. We eyeballed and later noticed that we had some reindeer bigger than others! 
  • Melt a little dark or white chocolate in a microwave or water bath.
  • Carefully dip the eyes in the melted chocolate and stick the eyes on the cut-out reindeers, dip the pretzel and stick them as horns. Lastly, attach the nose, M and Ms at the pit of the shape.

Notes

Decorating the reindeer is an essential step in this recipe. In order to achieve neat results, it would be necessary to use a small-sized tong or kitchen tweezers.
Use the tongs and tweezers to dip the candies, pretzels, and M and Ms in melted chocolate, then stick them on the cut-out reindeer.
