- 6 slices sprouted wheat bread or whole wheat bread
- 3 tbsp peanut butter (more if needed)
- 6 tbsp fresh fruit of choice (I used 6 strawberries)
- 6 mini pretzels
- 6 mini chocolate chips
- 3 red M&M-style candies
Place bread on a cutting board and cut out six heart shapes. Set aside.
Spread peanut butter on your bread, place fresh fruit on top of 3 of the heart slices.
Place pieces together. Stick two pretzels at the top of each side of the heart for antlers.
Add two chocolate chips for eyes and a M&M style candy for the nose. Use a little bit of peanut butter to "secure" the eyes and nose to the sandwich. Instead of regular M&Ms which have artificial colors, I recommend using these M&M style candies from Trader Joes or from UNREAL. The candies can be red for Rudolph or brown.
Top Tips for Making Reindeer Holiday Sandwiches
- Use a large enough cookie cutter that fits the size of the two bread slices.
- Spread the peanut butter using a butter knife.
- Use all natural organic peanut butter.
- Slice fruit thin. Apples, strawberries, pears, and bananas work well in this sandwich.
- Use a little bit of peanut butter to stick the chocolate chip eyes and M&M nose to the bread so it doesn’t easily fall off when you take a bite.
- Instead of regular M&Ms which have artificial colors, I recommend using these M&M style candies from Trader Joes or from UNREAL.
- Use a little extra peanut butter as needed to secure the pretzel antlers.
