Decorate the reindeer
- Use the fruit to create the reindeer's face. Use two pieces of banana and two blueberries for the reindeer's eyes. Use remaining banana for the reindeer's ears and scarf. Add strawberries or raspberries to the reindeer's scarf.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave heating on 20 second increments. Once melted, pour chocolate into a small ziploc bag. Cut a hole at the corner. Squeeze the chocolate out of the bag to form the antlers and the reindeer's smile.
