Reindeer Pops

When I saw these cute Reindeer Pops on the Internet I said, "I can do that!" And they were staring back at me saying, "Yes, you can do it!" How could I resist?

Well, my first attempt was not so great! I was doing a lot of cursing while trying to break the pretzel pieces into something that resembled antlers. I ate about a dozen broken pretzels before I finally got the hang of it! But I didn't really like the way the antlers looked...

 

Then I looked at more Reindeer Pop recipes and found a much easier way to make the pops with cuter antlers. So I made them again and was so happy at how easy it was and how cute they looked...

 

 

Isn't that reindeer saying,"You can do it?" 

 

We handed these out to family and neighbors...everyone LOVED them!

Give it a try! You'll be glad you did!

 

I found this recipe on the Make' n Mold.com website.

Below is my easier version of their recipe. I didn't use their trays or chocolate. I just used my own microwave safe bowls and store bought chocolate chips for melting.
