Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 2 hours 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 c.

    small pretzel twists

  • 1 lb.

    fresh strawberries, washed, well dried, leaves removed

  • 1 1/2 c.

    (255 g.) plus 2 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips, divided

  • 1 1/4 tsp.

    (or more) coconut oil

  • 40

    to 50 candy eyeballs

  • 20

    to 25 red M&M's

Equipment Needed

  • Long toothpicks or wooden skewers

Directions

  1. Carefully break pretzels into pieces so they look like reindeer antlers. Gently push 2 pretzel pieces into opposite sides of thicker end of each berry.

  2. In a small heatproof bowl, microwave chips and oil in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.

  3. Stick a long toothpick into top of one berry. (The toothpick holds better when placed in the very center where the stem used to be.) Dip berry into melted chocolate, coating top and around the antlers with a spoon. Arrange on a large parchment-lined baking sheet.

  4. Decorate with 2 candy eyes and 1 red M&M nose. Repeat with remaining berries. If chocolate becomes too thick, stir in 1/8 tsp. more oil and microwave until warmed, about 10 seconds.

  5. Let berries sit at room temperature until chocolate is firm, 30 to 60 minutes.
