Instructions
 

  • First make the pretzel bites by preheating the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the pretzel squares onto the baking sheet with a Hershey kiss on each.
  • Bake for 3 minutes. Once removed, immediately put an M&M on the top of each one and slightly press down. Set aside to cool.
  • To make the reindeer pretzels, melt the chocolate according to the package directions.
  • Dip two pretzel rods together into the chocolate about ⅓ of the way and place on a piece of parchment paper. Repeat to make 15 sets. Allow to fully cool.
  • Once cooled, repeat the dipping process again for each set coating the pretzels halfway.
  • Once the chocolate has slightly set but is still soft, put the eyeballs and mini red M&M in place to make the face. Set aside to cool.
  • Lastly, make the Christmas Puppy Chow by combining the cereal, marshmallows, and pretzels into a large bowl.
  • Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package and drizzle on top of the mixture.
  • Once the pieces are coated, spread out onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle on the red and green sanding sugar.
  • Dust on the powdered sugar and transfer into your serving bowl. Add the M&Ms on top.
  • Assemble the board with the Puppy chow in center, the pretzel hugs and chocolate reindeers on each corner and fill in the extra space with marshmallows, M&Ms, raspberries, strawberries, green grapes, and cheese.
  • Enjoy!
