Ingredients
-
4 slices sandwich bread
-
¼ cup filling of choice, such as peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower butter, whipped cream cheese, or preserves
-
4 small pretzels
-
4 chocolate chips
-
2 raspberries or blueberries
Instructions
-
Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut a heart from each slice of bread.
-
Spread about 2 tablespoons of your chosen filling over one heart-shaped slice.
-
Top with a second bread heart to make a sandwich.
-
Break or position the pretzels as needed, then tuck the bottoms between the two bread slices to create the reindeer’s ears.
-
Place a tiny dab of filling on the bottom of each chocolate chip and on one side of each raspberry or blueberry.
-
Attach the chocolate chips as the eyes and the berries as the noses.
-
Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and serve.
Notes
-
Choose soft bread: Softer sandwich bread is easier to cut cleanly with a cookie cutter.
-
Don’t overfill: A thin, even layer of filling helps keep the sandwich together.
-
Make the faces last: Assemble the sandwiches first, then add the eyes, noses, and pretzel ears.
-
Use small decorations: Smaller chocolate chips and berries help keep the reindeer faces proportional.
