Tips:

  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fudge, or it will become grainy.
  • To make the reindeer antlers, you can use pretzel sticks or Pocky sticks.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
  • To make the reindeer eyes, you can use chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, or sprinkles.
  • For a festive touch, you can sprinkle the reindeer with powdered sugar or edible glitter.
