Reindeer Melts Christmas Treat

I don’t care if it’s still 100 degrees outside, Christmas just isn’t the same without the delicious red and green M&M Christmas candies! So every year I grab a few bags and head home to see what fun treats I can come up with for the Christmas season. To be honest, the vast majority of them get eaten straight from the bag, but I do like to create some fun way to share them with my friends and family too!

This year, with a very busy 19 month old under foot, I knew whatever I was going to do needed to be simple!

Surprisingly, this simple idea for Reindeer Melts Christmas Treats came to me in a flash! Naturally I rushed out to buy the newest M&M Double Chocolate holiday flavor and a few bags of the classic M&M’S® Brand Holiday Milk Chocolate Candies.

Reindeer Melts – Easy Christmas Treats

Not only were these adorable in real life, but they were way easier than I thought! And I knew they were going to be pretty darn easy! 🙂

All I had to do was melt some dark chocolate chips, spoon the melted chocolate onto a lined pan, then place the pretzels and M&M’Sas shown in this picture!

Talk about easy! Seriously, that’s one minute of effort right there!

Then I grabbed the black icing pen I had purchased earlier and dotted these sweet little eyes. Easy peasy!

The Gift of Giving

Not only are these Reindeer Melts a super simple and fast treat, but they have the added joy of being a three-pronged gift!

While I get to share the treats themselves with my friends and family, I also get to invite them into my home for some quality time while we make them too!

And since they are so easy and fast, I know most of our “cooking” time will be “eating and visiting” time!
