Chocolate Marshmallow Reindeer Pops

November 28, 2017 By Kari 1 Comment

These Chocolate Marshmallow Reindeer Pops are perfect for a Christmas treats exchange, or to send to school with your kids for their class party.

Reindeer Treats-1

Chocolate Marshmallow Reindeer Pops

Makes: 24 Reindeer

Time Investment: One Hour

You’ll Need:

  • Lollipop Sticks
  • Mike & Ikes (I got mine at The Dollar Store)
  • Bag of round pretzels
  • Large marshmallows
  • Light Cocoa Melting Chocolate
  • White Sugar Pearls
  • Christmas Ribbon
  • Styrofoam block or oasis floral foam
  • One tbsp vegetable shortening
  • Toothpicks

Reindeer Treats-2Directions:

Put half of the bag of melting chocolate into a double boiler with a tbsp of vegetable shortening and stir. You can add more later if you run out, but I only used about half the bag.

Reindeer Treats-3The consistency should be smooth, but not too runny. Transfer your melted chocolate to a two-cup liquid measuring cup for easier marshmallow dipping.

Reindeer Treats-4Before you dip, take the end of one of your lollipop sticks and poke indents in the top of your marshmallow. This will make it easier to stick on your pretzel antlers later. Then, poke the stick through the middle of the marshmallow on the opposite end of the indents.

Reindeer Treats-5Next, dip your marshmallows into the melted chocolate. Tap off any excess to avoid a big mess. Stick the chocolate-covered marshmallow into your styrofoam block and let the chocolate set for about 30 minutes.

While the chocolate is setting, you can prep your reindeer antlers and noses. Use a sharp knife to cut your pretzels right down the middle, then trim the sides to your liking. (Warning: this takes a lot of patience and a ton of pretzels to get it right. Sip your wine. Everything will be alright.)

Reindeer Treats-9Next, cut your Mike & Ike’s in half to make your reindeer noses. (Eat a few extra.)

Reindeer Treats-10Final Steps:

Once your chocolate marshmallows have set, dip the ends of your pretzels into a little bit of chocolate and gently push them into the spots where you made the indents.

Reindeer Treats-11One at a time, use a toothpick to add melted chocolate dots where the eyes will go, then place your white sugar pearls on for the eyes. You may find it easier to use tweezers for this part.

Reindeer Treats-12Then, dip the halved Mike & Ike’s into chocolate and place on for the nose. Hold for 15-20 seconds to ensure it sets properly.

Reindeer Treats-13Finally, tie your ribbon to the lollipop sticks and trim to whatever length you like! You can place your reindeer in plastic treat bags to take to school or display them in the styrofoam block at your home or office Christmas party.

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
