To make mini roll reindeer, you will need the following ingredients:
– Mini chocolate rolls (such as Cadbury Mini Rolls or similar)
– White chocolate melts
– Mini M&M’s (red or brown)
– Edible candy eyes
– Writing icing (black or any other color for the mouth)
Now, let’s get started with the step-by-step process of making these adorable mini roll reindeer:
1. Melt the white chocolate melts according to the packet directions. You can either use a microwave or a double boiler for this. Be sure to melt the chocolate gently and avoid overheating it.
2. Once the white chocolate is melted, allow it to cool slightly. You want it to be smooth and easy to work with, but not too hot that it will melt the chocolate rolls completely.
3. Take one end of a mini chocolate roll and dip it into the melted white chocolate. Make sure to coat the end completely. You can use a spoon or a fork to help with this process.
4. Place the chocolate roll on a lined baking tray with the dipped end facing upwards. This will create the reindeer’s head. Repeat this step for all the mini chocolate rolls you have.
5. Take a mini M&M and place it on the dipped end of each chocolate roll. This will be the reindeer’s nose. You can use red M&M’s for Rudolph or brown M&M’s for other reindeer.
6. Next, attach the edible candy eyes above the nose. You can use a small amount of melted white chocolate to stick them on securely.
7. using the writing icing, draw a mouth for each reindeer. You can make them smile, frown, or even give them a mischievous look. Get creative with the expressions!
8. Allow the mini roll reindeer to set completely. You can either leave them at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once the chocolate and icing are set, your mini roll reindeer are ready to be enjoyed! These cute little treats are perfect for holiday parties, school events, or even as edible decorations for your Christmas desserts.
Feel free to get creative with your decorations. You can add antlers using pretzels, or even use mini marshmallows for the reindeer’s ears. The possibilities are endless!
Enjoy making these adorable mini roll reindeer and have a festive and delicious holiday season!
