Step 1

Break pretzels in half to form about 20 "antlers." Set aside.

Step 2

Add chocolate chips and paramount crystals (or coconut oil/shortening) to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in 30-second increments at 50% power, stirring between each increment, until completely melted and smooth.

Step 3

Pour the chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 4

Place pretzel pieces, candy eyeballs, and red M&Ms on the chocolate to make reindeer faces. Press them down gently to help them stick. Add sprinkles, if desired, to decorate the other areas.

Step 5

Refrigerate for 30-45 mins to set. The bark is ready when it easily peels off the parchment paper.

Step 6

Remove the chocolate from the parchment paper and carefully cut or break it into pieces to separate each reindeer's face.
