This chocolate caramel Reindeer Chocolate Bark recipe isn’t only easy to make, it is super fun too! The kids love to help make this Christmas candy and there really isn’t any way to do it wrong, so I break out the candy eyeballs and let them go to town. The caramel portion of this Christmas bark recipe is actually caramel flavored chips, like chocolate chips but caramel. They melt great and firm up like chocolate so they are perfect for making bark.

Our Reindeer Chocolate Bark recipe is all about that cute reindeer face and fun pretzel antlers. I went with two sizes of pretzels, mini and full size, just to break things up a bit. Also, so I could fit more reindeer faces on my bark. The pretzels are broken in half to create a set of antlers. You can use edible candy eyes, red ball sprinkles for a nose, and any other fun sprinkles you like. I found these awesome holly sprinkles at my local craft store and they added just the right touch of Christmas green!

Tips for Making Reindeer Chocolate Bark:

  1. Melt your chocolate chips and your caramel chips in separate bowls.
  2. Spread the chocolate on a lined baking sheet and then drizzle the melted caramel chips over it.
  3. Drag a toothpick gently through the caramel line to swirl it with the chocolate.
  4. Break your pretzels in half and place them on the chocolate to create sets of antlers.
  5. Add 2 edible eyes and 1 red ball sprinkle to each set of antlers to create a reindeer face.
  6. Add any other holiday sprinkles or candy you’d like.
  7. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour to harden.
  8. Remove from fridge and break into irregular pieces.
  9. Box it up and give it to friends for the holidays!
