Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 50 percent power for 90 seconds.

Stir and continue to microwave until the chips are just starting to melt.

Stir well to use the residual heat to completely melt the chocolate chips. I prefer to transfer the chocolate into a small mason jar for easier dipping.

Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the chocolate and insert into a donut hole. For best results, let set 10 to 15 minutes.

Dip the entire donut hole into the chocolate, and tap the stick against the rim of the jar to remove excess chocolate, and place the donut on a baking tray lined with wax paper.

Let the chocolate set enough so the candies won't slide, about ten minutes.

Adhere the red candy nose and candy eyes to the donut.

Let fully set at room temperature or in the refrigerator (preferred).

Twist the pipe cleaners around the lollipop stick to make antlers.
