Steps:
- Place the peanut butter in a medium bowl. Sift the powdered sugar through a fine mesh strainer over top of the peanut butter. Using a rubber spatula, stir the peanut butter and sugar together to make a smooth, somewhat stiff mixture.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture on half of the crackers. Press the wooden sticks into the peanut butter mixture, then top each with one more cracker. Press the crackers to stick them together. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the chocolate bars into small, similar-sized pieces. Place in a bowl set over a pot filled with about 1" of water. (Make sure that the bowl does not touch the water). Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir the chocolate occasionally, until it is melted and fluid. Transfer to a tall measuring cup, for easier dipping.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Remove the pops from the freezer. Dip one pop into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Remove and let the excess chocolate drip off into the measuring cup. Place the pop on the sheet tray and immediately place four little pretzel pieces up top (the antlers), two candy eyes just below, then one red candy nose. Repeat with all of the other pops. When the chocolate is shiny and still somewhat soft, sprinkle the tops of the reindeer faces with a pinch of flaky sea salt, if you like.
- Let firm up at room temperature for 30-45 minutes. Store in an air-tight container in a single layer, between layers of parchment paper, in a cool spot in your kitchen or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the taste of your reindeer, so be sure to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy eating.
- Make sure your chocolate is tempered: Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize the chocolate and make it less likely to melt. This will help your reindeer hold their shape better.
- Be creative with your toppings: You can use any kind of toppings you like to decorate your reindeer. Some popular options include sprinkles, nuts, candy, and pretzels.
- Chill your reindeer before serving: This will help them to set and hold their shape better.

These sweet and salty chocolate reindeer are a fun and easy treat that is perfect for the holidays. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be decorated in any way you like. Whether you are making them for a party or just for a snack, these reindeer are sure to be a hit.
