Peanut Butter Cup Reindeers

These will be the cutest thing you make this Christmas - and so easy! - by Kerrie Worner
  • 08 Dec 2019
Peanut Butter Cup Reindeers
Prep: 55 Minutes - Cook: 5 Minutes - Easy - Serves 8
Proudly supported by

TIP! Miniature peanut butter cups are available in supermarkets. You will need to cut extra pretzels when making antlers as some will break. Reindeers can be made up to two weeks ahead. Store in an airtight container. 

Ingredients

150g packet milk chocolate miniature peanut butter cups

1/3 cup Milk Choc Melts

8 red Smarties

16 candy eyeballs

30g salted pretzels

80cm x 5mm-wide green and red ribbons

Method

  1. Unwrap peanut butter cups and remove paper cases. 

  2. Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High (100%) in 20 second bursts, stirring, until melted. Transfer to a small snap-lock bag. Squeeze into one corner. Twist bag. Snip tip.

  3. To make faces, pipe a small amount of chocolate on the base of eight peanut butter cups. Stick on Smarties for the nose. 

  4. Pipe a small amount of chocolate on the back of each eyeball. Stick two eyeballs on the fluted side above the Smarties.

  5. Pipe a small amount of chocolate on the base of the remaining eight peanut butter cups. Stick on reindeer heads, as pictured. Stand for 10 minutes until set.  

  6. Cut pretzels into 4cm long pieces to form antlers. Pipe some chocolate along the end of each antler. Stick two to the back of each head. Stand until set. Tie a 10cm piece of green or red ribbon around necks.
