Instrucciones
-
Start by arranging your ingredients ,marshmallows, pretzels, sugar eyes, Smarties, and lollipop sticks ,on a clean working surface. Lay out a sheet of parchment paper for placing the dipped marshmallows.
-
Then gently insert a lollipop stick into each marshmallow, pushing it halfway through. Ensure it's secure but doesn't poke through the other side.
-
Next, break the chocolate bars into smaller pieces and melt them. You can use a double boiler or microwave them in intervals, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
-
Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the marshmallow on the parchment paper.
-
Allow the chocolate to cool and set slightly but not completely harden. This is the ideal time to add the facial features and antlers.
Creating The Marshmallow Reindeer
-
Attach two sugar eyes and a Smarties nose to each marshmallow to create the reindeer's face.
-
Break the pretzels into antler shapes and gently press them into the top of each marshmallow.
-
Allow the chocolate to completely harden. This can be expedited by placing the marshmallows in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
