Reindeer Treats

It has become a tradition now (this is our third year) to have reindeer sandwiches at least once during the month of December.  They are so easy to make that I can never say no when the kids ask for them.  We just cut the bread into triangles, spread some peanut butter, add pretzel antlers, and finish them with chocolate covered candy eyes and a candy nose.

This year, I could not resist trying to make a marshmallow reindeer.  I seem to be on a marshmallow kick lately; remember the Halloween marshmallows and the Pilgrim hat marshmallows?  So this is what I came up with:

I dipped a marshmallow in melted chocolate, stuck pretzel antlers in the top of the marshmallow, and added a red candy nose.  I put the marshmallow in the fridge to harden for a few minutes.  Then, I used white icing and green icing to make the eyes.

R does not like marshmallows, so I had to make her a special reindeer sweet too.  I just put some melted chocolate on wax paper, stuck some pretzel antlers in that, added a red candy nose and put it in the fridge for a few minutes.  Then I added the icing eyes, just like on the marshmallow.

They certainly aren't perfect, but C and R were delighted with their reindeer treats!
