Ingredients

  • 12 large strawberries

  • 12 red M&M’s or other small red candies
  • 24 pretzel twists

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the strawberries, leaving the stems intact.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
  5. Place the chocolate-covered strawberries onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. While the chocolate is still wet, carefully attach two candy eyes to each strawberry.
  7. Next, place a red candy in the center of each strawberry to create the reindeer’s nose.
  8. Break each pretzel twist in half to create the reindeer’s antlers. Gently press two pretzel halves into the top of each strawberry.
  9. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
