Pretzel Crayons!

For Joey's 1st birthday party I made pretzel crayons.  It's a very simple DIY project but when done right, it's super cute!

I made the labels in Photoshop so they could be printed on any color paper.  Originally I was going to stick with the color scheme of brown and blue but after thinking about it I decided to just make them in blue.

Here is the "recipe".

Ingredients:

• Mini Pretzel Rods
• Candy Melts (or white chocolate bark/chocolate chips with a little of your favorite food coloring added)
• Paper Labels

Instructions:

1. Melt candy melts or chocolate chips in microwave on medium heat for 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking at 15 second intervals until melted. Stir well. Add a few drops food coloring if desired.
2. Dip ends of pretzels in melted candy.
3. Place on wax paper or aluminum foil to dry.  I usually put them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. 
4. When dry, wrap with crayon label and secure with tape.
