Reindeer marshmallows

Preparation time: 30+ minutes

Cooling time: 1 hour

A delicious small treat for Christmas! Marshmallows dipped in milk chocolate, decorated with skittles, pretzels and eyes to look like perfect Rudolph!

Ingredients:
200g Marshmallows
200g Milk chocolate
Edible eyes
Red skittles (only pick out the original packet)
150g Pretzel bag (you'll only need a few)
You will need:
Lollipop sticks
Oasis flower arranging foam from a garden centre

Method:

1. Pour an original pack of skittles into a bowl and pick all the red ones out. Push the lollipop sticks into the bottom of each marshmallow.

2. In a small bowl melt the milk chocolate either in the microwave or over a pan.

3. When the chocolate has melted take off the heat and dip each marshmallow into the chocolate. Push the stick carefully into the oasis. Place into the fridge for about 30 minutes once all the marshmallows have been dipped.

4. After chilled, cut the pretzels up. To make the antlers you need to make a diagonal cut in the pretzel with a sharp knife. You have to be very careful as the pretzels are extremely breakable and will go everywhere. You need two pairs of antlers for each marshmallow.

5. Melt a small bit of milk chocolate and use it as glue to stick the decorations on. This is a really fiddly process. Place a small amount of chocolate on the back of each edible eye and stick onto the marshmallow. Be very gentle not to press too hard. Then place a small amount of chocolate on the S side of the skittle and stick in the middle underneath the eyes and press gently. Repeat this for every marshmallow then place into the fridge for 15 minutes.

6. Take out of the fridge and place a small amount of chocolate on the head of the marshmallow for the antlers. You need to hold the pretzel down for about 2 minutes until it stays up without an support. Repeat this for each marshmallow. (It will take a long time and patience)

7. Place back into the fridge before serving.
