Equipment
- Muffin Pan(s)
- 24 Cupcake Liners
Ingredients
- 24 Chocolate Cupcakes *see notes
- 1 container Chocolate Frosting store bought or homemade
- 48 Pretzels small
- 24 Red Candies for the nose
- 48 Candy Eyes
Instructions
- If you are baking your own cupcakes, make them ahead of time so they can cool completely.
- After the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost the tops with chocolate frosting. Create a flat surface for the reindeer face.
- Gently press two pretzels into the top of each frosted cupcake to make reindeer antlers.
- Place the candy eyes right below the pretzel antlers.
- Add the red candy for the Rudolph nose. If you rather, you could always use chocolate for a nose to make the other reindeer characters.
- Allow the decorated cupcakes to set for a little while, so the decorations stay in place.
