How to make Reindeer Candy
Line Baking Sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Unwrap mini candy canes and place together making a candy cane hearts. Carefully place a long lollipop stick so that the stick ends in the middle of the candy heart.
Then in a medium bowl melt chocolate chips or chocolate candy wafers in microwave by heating for 30 seconds. Make sure to stir well and if additional time is needed add 15 seconds more and stir.
Once chocolate is melted and smooth pour into a ziploc bag or Wilton piping bag. Snip corner of bag and carefully pipe melted chocolate in the center of the heart filling it in completely.
While the chocolate is still melted, carefully place candy eyes and red nose. As chocolate cools and hardens the candy garnish will hold in place. The chocolate will also hold the candy canes together and form on the stick.
Super simple right? The hard part is waiting until the chocolate cools and hardens. To speed up the process you can place the baking sheet in the freezer for just a minute or two.
Wrap Reindeer Candy Canes in a plastic bag and tie with ribbon for a stocking stuffer or enjoy as Holiday goodies.
These may be a fun Christmas Holiday Treat, but can easily be a Valentine lollipop. With a quick switch of candies you can add M&M candies and fill the heart for a sweet someone. Cute, right? We sure think so.
I love how cute these fun no bake treats are. They are whimsical and fun and will surly bring a smile to others. I think they would be fun to make in an elementary school class room for a Christmas Party too.
