Grandma may not be too keen on them, but I wouldn’t mind being run over by these cute and healthy reindeer. They may not be able to fly, but as a delicious sweet-and-salty snack, they’re pretty fantastic! If your kids are like mine, they’ll love making this holiday recipe as an after-school snack — just have everything ready when they come home, and let them do all the work! (Try to name all of Santa’s reindeer while you’re making them.)

What You’ll Need:
1 apple
10 pretzel rings
5 raisins (1 dried cranberry or red M&M if you want to make Rudolph)
10 mini chocolate chips

To Make Reindeer Apple Snack:

Core apple and slice into thin large circles. Use a vitamin bottle to cut small circles out of the apples. Place 2 mini chocolate chips on each circle for the reindeer eyes. Add a raisin underneath the mini chocolate chips for the nose. Place a pretzel ring on the apple to finish the reindeer face. Arrange reindeer faces on a plate. (Make sure to leave room for the antlers!) Gently break pretzel rings in half and put in place for the antlers.

Happy Holidays!
