What You Need

Just a couple of delicious ingredients are needed to make these festive reindeers!

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients, quantities and full detailed method. 

• Lamington Fingers - these are rectangles of sponge cake coated in chocolate and coconut. They are very popular in Australia and are available in all major supermarkets.
• Pretzels - you can use either mini pretzels or regular sized pretzels for this recipe. I used regular sized pretzels cut into smaller pieces.
• Jaffas - these are chocolate balls covered in hard orange flavoured candy. If you can't buy Jaffas, you can replace them with red Smarties or M&Ms.
• White sprinkles or edible eyes - edible eyes look fantastic on these lamington reindeers, however they can be difficult to buy. If edible eyes aren't available at your local supermarket, you can use large white sprinkle balls instead - or even small white chocolate chips.
• White chocolate - to be melted and used to 'stick' the eyes on with.

Step By Step Instructions

Step 1 - Set The Lamingtons Out On A Board

Place the lamingtons onto a flat board or bench.

Step 2 - Decorate

Press the Jaffas gently into the centre of the lamington fingers. If using Smarties or M&M's, use a little melted chocolate to hold them in place.

TIP: Don't press down too hard or the lamington fingers may break.

Place a small amount of white chocolate onto the lamington fingers and 'stick' the eyes on.

Step 3 - Add The Reindeer Antlers

Press the pretzels gently into the top of the lamingtons to look like antlers.
