Hey there, The North Pole Experience fans! Looking for a sweet and simple way to bring the holiday magic into your kitchen? Our easy peasy reindeer treats are about to become your new favourite Christmas tradition. Let's get those ovens fired up and bring these adorable reindeer to life!

Ingredients:

  • Pretzels (mini twists or sticks)
  • Chocolate melting wafers (or your favourite chocolate)
  • Candy eyes
  • Small red candies (M&Ms, Skittles, etc.)
  • Optional: Frosting or extra melted chocolate

Instructions:

  1. Melt Your Chocolate: Follow the instructions for your melting wafers or chocolate, ensuring a smooth, dippable consistency.
  2. Assemble the Antlers: Place two pretzels together to form the reindeer's antlers.
  3. Chocolate Dip: Carefully dip the top of each pretzel antler in the melted chocolate, covering about half of the pretzel.
  4. Eyes and Nose: Place two candy eyes and a red nose near the top of the chocolate-dipped part of the antlers. If you're feeling extra fancy, "glue" them on with a tiny dab of frosting or melted chocolate.
  5. Let it Set: Place your adorable reindeer on a tray lined with parchment paper and let the chocolate harden (pop them in the fridge to speed things up!)

Get Creative!

  • White Chocolate Antlers: Use white chocolate for a snowy, wintery look.
  • Sprinkled with Joy: Add festive sprinkles around the eyes and nose for some extra sparkle.
  • Pretzel Possibilities: Experiment with different pretzel shapes for unique reindeer styles.

Tips:

  • Assemble First: Arrange all your pretzels, eyes, and noses before dipping to make the process quicker and less messy.
  • Little Chefs Welcome: This recipe is perfect for even the youngest helpers!
  • Double Dip Fun: Dip the entire pretzel in chocolate for an extra decadent treat.

Absolutely fantastic day! Everyone had the best time from start to finish. So much is included in the price it makes it really great value for money. If you paid for each thing individually like an hour ice skating, build a bear, shows and Santa's grotto it'd cost a fortune but this is all included in the entry price! Best experience ever!

Wow, what a magical way to start Christmas! We went on 1st December and our girls absolutely loved it from start to finish! Father Christmas was amazing. The girls loved making the bears in the workshop and loved listening to the story and decorating gingerbread men with Mrs Christmas. I would totally recommend The North Pole Experience, we enjoyed it so much we will go again next year!

Great experience, little one loved it. The actors were amazing and very attentive. Don't miss writing a letter to santa! The price for what you get was amazing, a toy, making a teddy, visiting santa, ice skating, gingerbread making. Great day out overall.

What a wonderful time we all had, such a magical place, Santa and all his helpers were just amazing and so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back next year. Thankyou for such an incredibly memorable experience! 😊 🎅🏼

Thank you soooo much for the most wonderful, magical and memory making experience we have ever had. It’s worth every single penny and my little granddaughters not stopped talking about it since we got back yesterday, she knows now that her Nanna ready is a magical Elf 😉 I’d truly recommend it to anyone and can’t wait to go back next year when my grandsons are a bit older xx
