    Easy Rolo Pretzel Reindeer Candy

    These easy rolo pretzel reindeer are such a festive treat to make for the holiday season. Between the candy nose that represents a reindeer nose and the optional pretzel antlers made from extra pretzels, these treats are sure to be a huge hit! It doesn't hurt that these simple treats are made with simple ingredients like salty pretzels (gluten-free of course), candy eyeballs, and rolo candies. Wrap these up in some parchment paper for the perfect Holiday Gift or a cookie exchange.

    Reindeer Pretzels Ingredients

    • Pretzel Twists: use gluten-free full-size pretzel twists for these reindeer pretzel treats. If you don't want this Rolo pretzel recipe to be gluten-free, just use regular pretzels.
    • Red hot candies: these are used for the red candy nose, but you can also use chocolate chips or Hershey kisses in a pinch to make these cute reindeer. You can find these in the baking aisle or the candy aisle at the grocery store. You can use red M&M's found a round red nose, too.
    • Rolo Candies: these caramel candies are the perfect balance to the salty pretzel twists. Use an unwrapped Rolo for each pretzel to ake these rolo reindeer pretzels.

    How to Make Gluten-Free Rolo Reindeer Pretzels

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
    • Line the mini pretzel twists on the baking tray and top each one with an unwrapped Rolo.
    • Place the baking pan with pretzels in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven and gently press two candy eyes and a red hot candy into each Rolo to make a reindeer face.
    • Optional: use pretzel halves to make pretzel antlers on the rolo pretzel reindeer. Press two pretzel halves into the top of each Rolo candy.

    Recipe Variations

    • Mini pretzels: you can use mini pretzels instead of full-sized pretzels.
