How to Make Reindeer Donuts
  1. Prepare your workspace by laying out parchment paper on a clean surface.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  3. Break a pretzel in half and push each half into the top of a mini donut to create antlers.
  4. Place a dollop of melted chocolate on the back of a mini-Nilla wafer and press it into the lower center of the donut.
  5. Glue two candy eyes above the Nilla wafer using the melted chocolate.
  6. Use a toothpick to apply melted chocolate on the back of a red M&M and press it onto the face above the Nilla wafer.
  7. Continue decorating the remaining donuts following the same steps.
  8. Allow the assembled donuts to sit until the chocolate hardens completely.
