  • Using the small glass bowl, microwave the chocolate according to the directions on the package – *I usually put mine in the microwave for 1 minute, stir with my silicone spatula and pop it back for 30 seconds. If the chocolate is melted and smooth after your stir it together – you are done. Don’t overcook. 
  • Place a large spoonful of melted chocolate into a baggie
  • Snip a small corner from the bottom of the bag to allow the chocolate to flow out
  • Place a sheet of wax paper down and begin drawing antlers with your melted chocolate in the bag
  • Make double the amount of antlers as you have cookies – If you make around 40 – you should be good to go
  • Let those dry to set up – you can hurry the process by placing them in the freezer for a couple of minutes, but they will probably air dry while you continue the next step

  • Now, while the antlers are drying, plop one cookie at a time into the rest of the chocolate
  • Use your fork to gently push it down and flip it over – completely covering the cookie
  • Pull the cookie up to the side of your bowl with your fork
  • Tap the fork on the side of the bowl allowing the excess chocolate to drip into the bowl and smoothing the top of your cookie
