Christmas Chocolate Reindeer Bark
Looking for a fun holiday treat? It doesn’t get much better than this simple Christmas dessert. And since all you need are four easy ingredients, you’ll be chowing down on it in no time at all.

Reindeer Chocolate Bark Ingredients
Gather up the super short list of ingredients below to get started.
- Large pretzel twists
- 12 oz package of Wilton chocolate candy melts
- Red M&M candies (or red Sixlet candies)
- Large candy eyes
Directions
There’s just something so satisfying about seeing a big giant melty puddle of chocolate. As you can see from the picture below, it’s going to take a lot of patience to not dive in and eat this recipe before it’s ready.
Adding on the reindeer faces is the job of the kids! They’ll love being able to create these fun creatures just by adding on a few ingredients.
Once it dries, you’ll be able to break it up and just like that, you have your very own reindeer bark!
Just be certain to keep it in a cool place after you make it because no one wants to see their reindeer get melted away. That’s the job of the snowman, not the reindeer.
And speaking of keeping it cool, you can easily store this chocolate bark recipe in your fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it next. One piece is a great treat for your belly but you’re going to want more later.
When it was time for the “breaking” of the bark, my kiddos thought that this was one of the most fun parts! Let them have fun as every piece of bark should look a little bit different. As long as they can have the eyes, nose, and antlers somewhere on the broken piece, the rest is no big deal!
While I’m a big advocate of finding balance with sugar in our home, making these during the holidays is a tradition that I look forward to. If you feel that the portion size is too big for your family to consume and are worried about having too much sugar, gift a few fun holidays treat bags to your neighbors and friends! They’ll be more than happy to “help” you consume these delicious holiday treats!
