Candy eyes
2 tablespoons green M&M's (for decoration)

Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the chocolate from sticking.

- Pour the melted milk chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the 12 mini pretzels onto the chocolate for the reindeer antlers.Add 12 red M&M’s below the pretzels for the reindeer noses.
- Place candy eyes above the noses to complete the reindeer faces.
- Scatter the green M&M’s and 1 teaspoon of sprinkles over the bark while the chocolate is still wet for added festive color and texture.
- Set the Chocolate:
- Let the bark sit at room temperature until fully set, or place it in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
- Once the chocolate is completely set, break it into pieces with your hands. Enjoy your festive reindeer bark or package it up as a holiday treat for friends and family!
