To make pretzel antlers, cut mini pretzels in half lengthwise. Use a small knife to trim them into antler shapes, similar to the images above.
Combine chocolate and coconut in a bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until the chocolate is fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to form a quarter-inch thick rectangle.
Sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the melted chocolate.
To make the reindeer faces, place a red chocolate candy on the chocolate piece to represent the reindeer's nose. Position two eyes closely together just above the chocolate piece. Attach the pretzel antlers above the eyes.
Freeze the chocolate sheet for 15 minutes or overnight. Once set, cut the chocolate into pieces. Refrigerate, freeze, or arrange in gift boxes for a delightful holiday treat.
