Hey everybody! It's LolAshley, with yet another craft, and today I will be sharing this delicious yet adorable treat that is perfect for a small class of children on Christmas. I found a picture on Pinterest, and I decided to add my own twist to it. So I hope you enjoy and find the joy you crave through this cute, artsy Reindeer Marshmallow Pop! Enjoy

Gather Your Materials

You will need:

Marshmallows (Reindeer's body)

Red candy drops (The red nose)

Popsicle Sticks or Skewer sticks (This will hold the marshmallow)

White Glaze (This will be the 'glue'. I got the glaze from the doughnut box on the left.)

Pretrezels (These will be the antlers)

Candy eyes or white and black icing (These will be the eyes.)

Starting the Body

Put the marshmallow on the skewer like a hammer. (Use picture for reference.)

Making the Face

Now it is time for the face. Put a bit of glaze on the back of the red candy dot, and then put the red candy dot onto the center of the marshmallow pop. Next, add you candy eyes. I used different sized pupils because I thought it was cute. (I did drop one and decided to put the same sized pupils later) Or, if you are using the frosting, cut a very thin hole in a ziploc bag, put the white frosting in one, and size a small amount of while frosting on the marshmallow, right above the nose. Then, do the same thing with the ziploc bag for the black frosting, but this time add a small amount of black icing onto the center of the DRIED white icing.

MMM... Antlers!

Add a bit of glaze onto your pretzels. You could use chocolate covered ones, but I just liked the look the normal (Unsalted) pretzels gave. Then, add one on the left side of the marshmallow, and one on the right side of marshmallow. I had tons of fun using some pretzel scraps and giving Rudolph (My name for it) different mouths. I settled for no mouth, but it was still fun the chew the pretzels into small pieces.

I hope you enjoyed this Instructable! I had tons of fun making it, and I hope you had fun too! This is perfect for children on Christmas morning! Hey, I would love to wake up on Christmas morning with a tree with tons of presents under it, and some sweet treats to give me energy to play with my new toys! If you do do this, put a picture in the comments! Since it is relatively easy, I expect to see a lot! Have a great Holiday season! :D
