These adorable Reindeer Candy Cane Pops are so much fun to make with kids. We whipped these up for Christmas and they were a huge hit, plus they taste great.
Place a piece of parchment paper down on the surface you are working on. It will be where you place each of the reindeer pops as you're assembling them as well as to dry.
Place all 20 candy canes reversed in a heart shape around the lollipop stick (see photo for reference). Place the lollipop stick about halfway between the two candy canes to ensure they stay put.
Melt your melting chocolate according to package directions.
Place the chocolate into a piping bag or a zip top bag with one corner snipped off. Fill the candy cane hearts with chocolate, covering the lollipop stick. It's okay if you get some chocolate on the candy canes. Once it's dry, you can easily just chip it off.
Allow the chocolate to dry just a little and then gently push the eyeballs into the chocolate. Add the cinnamon red hots at the bottom for a nose.
Allow to cool/dry completely. Wrap to give as gifts, or simply store in an airtight container for about 4-5 days.
