Festive, fun, and delightfully sweet, these no-bake Rudolph Candy Cane Sleds are a whimsical holiday treat perfect for kids parties or edible gifts.

Kids love assembling these sleds and helping with the chocolate which makes holiday prep more memorable.

Candy Base: 16 mini candy canes, 8 mini chocolate bars (e.g., Kit Kat, Milky Way, or similar)
Decorations: 16 small candy eyes, 8 mini pretzels (twisted shape, for antlers), 8 red chocolate candies (such as M&Ms, for Rudolphs nose), 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts (for glue)

Step 1:: Line a tray with parchment paper for assembly.
Step 2:: Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
Step 3:: Arrange two mini candy canes parallel to each other, curved sides facing outward, to form the sleds runners.
Step 4:: Place a mini chocolate bar across the candy cane runners, adhering with melted white chocolate. Hold for a few seconds until set.
Step 5:: While the sled base sets, dip the bottom of two mini pretzels in melted chocolate and attach to the top of the chocolate bar as antlers.
Step 6:: Attach two candy eyes and a red chocolate candy (nose) to the front of the bar using melted chocolate to form Rudolphs face.
Step 7:: Allow the sleds to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until the chocolate hardens.
Step 8:: Carefully transfer finished sleds to a serving platter or gift bags.
