Ingredients

  • 12 pieces mini salted pretzels
  • 12 pieces Ritz crackers
  • 6 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
  • 6 pieces red M&Ms
  • 6 pieces brown M&Ms
  • 24 pieces candy eyes

Instructions

  • Break 12 mini salted pretzels in half to mimic the reindeer’s antlers.
  • Lay Ritz crackers on a plate, flat side up. Spread ½ teaspoon of creamy peanut butter on the flat side of the crackers.
  • Assemble the reindeer face. Place the halved mini pretzel as antlers, resting the pointy tip and inner pretzel on the cracker. Top with 2 candy eyes near the pointy tips of the pretzel. Add the M&M near the 2 candy eyes.
  • Immediately serve and enjoy this quick and fun no-bake Christmas treat.

Notes

I used Skippy creamy peanut butter. You may use other brands of creamy peanut butter. If you prefer natural peanut butter, stir vigorously until well-combined, and use with caution. The pretzels, candy eyes, and M&Ms may drip or fall off due to the natural oil.
Place the halved mini pretzels as antlers, resting the pointy tip and inner pretzels on the crackers to keep them from tipping over.
Breaking the mini pretzels in half by hand can end up with a bunch of broken pretzels. Use a knife to cut the lower tip of the pretzels slowly, and the 2 upper holes will break in half. It took some practice, but it becomes easier in no time.
Use a round knife or butter knife for spreading the creamy peanut butter.
