Ingredients
8 ounces white candy coating, coarsely chopped12 candy canes (6 inches)12 miniature pretzels12 Red Hots or milk chocolate M&M’s12 double candy eyes or 24 single candy eyes, black sugar pearls or miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Preparation
In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Keep warm. Holding the curved end of a candy cane, use a spoon to drizzle coating over the straight part of candy; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper to dry. Repeat with remaining candy canes. Break pretzels in half to resemble antlers; set aside 24 pieces. Attach Red Hots candy noses to the curved portion of each candy cane with melted candy coating, holding for about 10 seconds to help adhere. Use candy coating to attach candy eyes just above noses and pretzel antlers above eyes, holding each piece as needed to help adhere. Place in mugs or drinking glasses; let dry for about 1 hour.
