• 1 pkt pretzels

Method:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Place silver foil patty pans in a 12 cup tray.

Prepare cake mix as directed and place 1/3rd cup measures in each patty pan and bake for 20 minutes.Leave to cool on a wire rack.

When cooled take the icing and give each cupcake a generous coating.

Place Jaffas on each one for the nose and smarties etc for the eyes.

Cut the pretzels to make the antler shapes and push into cupcake.

Notes

• These little guys are super cute and my kids loved them. 
• Cutting the pretzels is tricky and I discovered a quick downstroke with the knife makes a clean cut and stops the rest of the pretzels breaking.
