Prep Time: 40 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes (+ 5 hours 40 minutes standing time)
Makes: 12
Ingredients:
1 cup M&M’S Milk Chocolate Holiday
6 oz milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into cubes
6 oz dark chocolate melts, melted
24 mini candy eyes
12 pretzel twists, halved
Instructions:
1. Reserve 12 red M&M’S Milk Chocolate Holiday; set aside. Chop remaining M&M’S; set aside.
2. In heatproof bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water, melt chocolate chips until smooth. Meanwhile, heat cream in small saucepan set over medium heat until simmering; stir into melted chocolate. Stir in butter until melted. Fold in chopped M&M’s. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 6 hours.
3. Using small ice cream scoop or melon baller, shape mixture into twelve (1 1/2-inch) balls (reserve any remaining mixture for another use). Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet; refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until firm.
4. Using two forks, dip chilled truffles into melted chocolate melts, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Return to parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
5. Immediately adhere candy eyes, reserved red M&M’s as nose and pretzels as antlers on truffles to resemble reindeer. Refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes or until chocolate is set and hardened.
Tip: Use good-quality chocolate for best results; it will melt and coat truffles evenly.
