Using round cookie cutters, form cakes with the mixture. Press down well so they are flat. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Melt the remaining chocolate squares and dip the bottom of the pretzels in. Stick two pretzels on top of each cake to form the reindeer's antlers.
Dip the blue smarties in the melted chocolate and stick two under the pretzels to form the eyes.
