- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the milk chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of boiling water, stirring as it melts.
- Once melted, spread the chocolate out in an even layer onto the lined baking tray.
- To decorate, first place multiple pairs of googly eyes onto the chocolate, evenly spaced out. Then, add a red Smartie or M&M right below the eyes to form a reindeer face, leaving enough space for pretzel antlers above. Break the pretzels and add above each pair of eyes for antlers to form a reindeer.
- Melt the white chocolate in a separate heat-proof bowl by placing it over a pot of boiling water, stirring as it melts. Add the melted chocolate to a sandwich bag, pushing the chocolate into one corner. Twist the bag tight to form a piping bag shape. Use scissors to cut a small hole in the corner of the bag. Pipe little dots all over the bark around the reindeer to give the effect of snow. Add the festive sprinkles for finishing touches.
- Set aside for one hour, or until fully set, before breaking or slicing into shards and serving.

Test Kitchen Tips:
- This bark can be stored in an airtight container for up to four days.
- Our recipe uses milk chocolate but swapping for for white or dark chocolate is just as delicious!
