  2. Pretzel Reindeers: Melt chocolate wafers per package instructions. Dip pairs of pretzel rods about one-third into chocolate and place on parchment to cool. Once set, dip again halfway up, then add candy eyeballs and a red M&M to create the reindeer face. Allow to fully cool.
  3. Christmas Puppy Chow: In a large bowl, mix Rice Chex, mini marshmallows, and pretzels. Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the mixture. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle red and green sanding sugar and powdered sugar on top. Add M&Ms once set.
