    Default Reindeer Pies

    I saw these in the gourmet store today for $3.99 each! It's a handful of almonds (maybe 6-8 pieces) with chocolate poured over it in a circle to make the "pie" shape.

    It uses about 1/4 cup of chocolate. For $3.99 you can get a bag of chips and a bag of almonds and make a LOT of these. Print out some funny labels and you're all set.
    Use it up, Wear it out,

    I've heard of these. Never tasted one. I love almonds, and chocolate of course. Cute gift for someone.

    How cute! I think it would be cute to add the almonds just as it was starting to harden then another thin layer of chocolate to make it look lumpy. LOL

    Pretty sure that reindeer poop in pellets! They would be more accurate if they left them in chip form.
