    Cute Christmas Treats - Rudolph Candy Bars

    Turn Kit-Kat Bars into Cute Christmas Treats in a snap. Just add two chocolate pretzel antlers, some candy eyes, and a shiny red nose and you have the sweetest Rudolph Candy Bars to give to friends and family this holiday season.

    This Christmas if you are short on time but need to make some cute treats, grab some candy bars and create these cute Rudolph Candy Bars.

    Earlier this month, when I shared my Chocolate Pretzel Reindeer food craft with you all, someone commented that it would be easier to decorate a break-a-part chocolate bar, like a Kit-Kat bar to look like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.

    Now, I love my chocolate pretzels crafts, but she was right, a candy bar would be easier.

    cute-chocolate-rudolph-treats

    So, I got myself some chocolate bars and spent mere minutes decorating them.

    They are equally as cute and would make the perfect project to do with your kids at Christmas or a great last-minute treat to make for your kid's holiday party.

    You only need a few ingredients and a small amount of time to create an entire herd of these adorable chocolate reindeer.

    Ingredients

    Kit-Kat Candy Bars
    light cocoa candy melts, melted (see my Chocolate-Making Tips page for instructions)
    chocolate-dipped pretzel twists
    large red candy (I used red Mega M&Ms but red Candy Melts wafers work great too)
    jumbo candy eyes

    Supplies

    wooden skewer or food-use-only paintbrush

    Instructions

    Turn store bought candy bars into Cute Christmas Treats in a snap. Just add two chocolate pretzel antlers, some candy eyes, and a shiny red nose and you have the sweetest Rudolph Candy Bars to give to friends and family this holiday season.

    Cut the chocolate-dipped pretzel twists in half (or just use whole pretzels) to create the reindeer's antlers.

    Use melted light cocoa candy melts to attach two antlers, two candy eyes, and one candy nose to the backside of each Kit-Kat bar.

      You have just made Christmas even merrier! I LOVE your pretzel crafts too, but wow! How easy and cute are these. I had a 6-pack of Kit-Kats in my hand last night and decided not to get them. Now I wish I had. Your Rudolph treats are keee-ute! :o)

        Now, you'll need to run back to the store to get those candy bars! I just packaged mine up in cellophane bags to give to the neighbor kids. I hope they like them.

      These could possibly be the cutest easiest treats around and with not much time before Christmas, they are perfect!
