**Edible Sleighs**
**Ingredients:**
– 12 small pretzel rods
– 6 ounces of white chocolate, melted
– 24 mini candy canes
– 12 chocolate bars (such as Hershey’s)
– Mini marshmallows
– Assorted candies for decorating (mini M&M’s, Reese’s Pieces, gummy bears)
**Instructions:**
1. Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
2. Dip each pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the rod. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the pretzel rod on the prepared baking sheet.
3. While the chocolate is still wet, carefully place two mini candy canes on each pretzel rod to form the sleigh runners. Hold them in place for a few seconds until the chocolate starts to set.
4. Next, unwrap the chocolate bars and place one on each pretzel rod, on top of the candy canes, to create the sleigh body.
5. To complete the sleigh, add a mini marshmallow to the front of each chocolate bar to resemble the seat for Santa Claus. Use a dab of melted white chocolate to secure the marshmallow in place.
6. Now comes the fun part – decorating your sleighs! Get creative with your choice of candies to add festive colors and textures. Use mini M&M’s, Reese’s Pieces, gummy bears, or any other small candies you prefer to embellish the sleighs and make them look festive and inviting.
7. Allow the sleighs to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to help the chocolate harden faster.
8. Once the chocolate is set, your Edible Sleighs are ready to be enjoyed! Arrange them on a platter or display them individually for a charming touch to your holiday table.
