Ingredients
- Large marshmallows
- Chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips
- Mini pretzels (broken in half for antlers)
- Red hot candies or red M&M’s (for noses)
- Candy eyes
- Large lollipop sticks or paper straws
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Insert a sucker stick into the center of each marshmallow to create your pops.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Gently tap off the excess chocolate.
- Place the coated marshmallows on the parchment paper.
- While the chocolate is still wet, press two pretzel halves into the top sides for antlers.
- Add two candy eyes to the front, and a red hot or red M&M just below them for the nose.
- Let the reindeer pops set completely at room temperature, or place them in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to speed things up.

Jennie’s Notes
These little reindeer pops are one of my favorite easy Christmas crafts. They look adorable displayed in a mug filled with sugar or marshmallows, or wrapped in clear treat bags tied with a red ribbon for gifting.
You can also use white chocolate or milk chocolate, and even drizzle them with red or green candy melts for an extra festive look. For a fun variation, use mini marshmallows and turn them into reindeer “bites”!
For perfectly smooth dipping, I recommend Ghirardelli melting wafers — they coat evenly and give a glossy finish every time.
Storage & Serving
Store your reindeer pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. If gifting, wrap each pop individually in clear treat bags and tie with ribbon or twine — they make the cutest stocking stuffers!
These Marshmallow Reindeer Pops are festive, fun, and full of holiday cheer! Whether you make them with your kids, share them as party favors, or serve them at a Christmas get-together, they’re guaranteed to bring joy and smiles all around.
Easy, delicious, and picture-perfect — the sweetest way to celebrate the season!
