Slice the ends of the banana off and slice into four quarters.
1 banana
Melt the chocolate. Heat the chocolate on defrost mode for 2 minutes, stir, then another 1–2 minutes until smooth.
10 oz Ghirardelli's milk chocolate melting wafers
Dip the bananas into the chocolate.
Place them on a cutting board or parchment paper.
Quickly add candy eyes and an M&M nose to create a red-nosed reindeer.
8 candy eyes, 4 red M&M's
Break a pretzel in half and stick into the sides as antlers.
4 pretzels
Flash freeze 2 minutes to dry chocolate then serve.

Work Quickly: The chocolate sets fast, so have all your decorations ready before dipping.
Use Ripe but Firm Bananas: Too soft and they’ll break apart when dipped.
Parchment Is Key: It keeps the chocolate from sticking as it hardens.
Add a Stick: Pop a small skewer or cake pop stick into each banana for an easy handheld version.
