Chocolate krispie Snowmen & Reindeer

I had the idea to make white chocolate krispie snowmen and use raisins for the eyes & buttons and while seaching on google I came across these gorgeous reindeer too!

Our adapted Recipe to make both the reindeer & snowmen from one bag of marshmallows and without cocopops is below.

Chocolate Reindeer (the original recipe above)

(makes 12)

4 Tbsp. butter
1 bag miniature marshmallows
1 tsp. vanilla
6 Cups coco pops
24 Pretzel Twists (more to allow for breaking)
Red and brown mini smarties
White icing

Melt the butter and marshmallows over medium heat. Once melted, stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and add Cocoa Krispies. Stir until well coated with marshmallow mixture. Pour onto wax paper. Shape into 12 triangular-shaped reindeer heads. Allow to cool. Using white icing, add the eyes, nose, and antlers.

Our adapted Recipe

White Chocolate Snowmen

White chocolate 100g
Rice Krispies
Half a bag of white mini Marshmallows
Rasins/Brown mini smartie to decorate
A tube of icing to glue smarties on (not entirely necessary but easy)

Milk Chocolate Reindeer (or Gruffalos)

Milk Chocolare 100g
Rice Krispies
Half a bag of white mini marshmallows
Rasins/Brown mini smartie to decorate
Pretzels
A tube of icing to glue smarties on (not entirely necessary but easy)

Method

First prepare the smarties & pretzels (cutting them a bit to look like antlers)

Melt the chocolate in the microwave, then once it’s melted melt the marshmallows in the microwave (they melt much quicker than the chocolate). Keep checking on it so the ingredients don’t burn as the time will vary from microwave to microwave.

We did the white chocolate snowmen first and the above ingredients made 5 snowmen. We just added Krispies to the mixture until it looked good enough to set and stay solid.

For the reindeer we got 6 out of the indgredients.
