# Ingredient List:

→ Chocolate Pudding Cups

01 - 8 individual chocolate pudding cups (store-bought or homemade)
02 - 16 mini pretzels (for antlers)
03 - 8 red candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&Ms, for noses)

# Steps:

01 - Carefully open each pudding cup. Dab a small amount of chocolate frosting on the back of two candy eyes and one red candy. Attach them to each pudding cup to create reindeer faces.

03 - Place the decorated pudding cups in the center of a large serving board or platter.
04 - Surround the pudding cups with mini marshmallows, halved cookies, halved strawberries, chocolate-dipped pretzels, brownie bites, and assorted holiday candies, creating an attractive festive display.
