Edible fairy wands

Here's another fun and easy recipe that kids will love. I made these a few weeks back for my 4-year-old niece (who loves all things Disney Fairies) and she loved them! Of course, I think she had just as much fun playing with them, as she did eating them! :D

Ingredients:
Pretzel rods
Candy melts
Crystal sugars, flower confetti, or whatever else you want to decorate them with

Instructions:

1. Melt candy melts in microwave (see package for melting instructions).
2. Dip pretzel rods in candy melts. You will most likely need a spatula to help spread the chocolate. Leave a few inches plain pretzel rod on the bottom.
3. Sprinkle with sugar, and whatever else you desire.
4. Place on wax paper to set.
5. Once the chocolate is dry- EAT! :D

Edible crayons

Hi there! Wow. I've neglected this blog for way too long, but now I'm back, and with something fun- edible crayons! I spied this recipe awhile back on Gourmet Mom-on-the-Go http://www.gourmetmomonthego.com/2008/08/runs-with-scissors-and-eats-crayons.html and I had been wanting to make it ever since. So when I was asked to baby sit 5 kids one night, I knew that it was the perfect opportunity to make them. They were really easy to make and the kids absolutely loved them! So have fun! :D

Ingredients:
Pretzel rods
Candy melts
Paper labels (found on Gourmet Mom-on-the-Go's blog)

Instructions:
1. Break pretzel rods in half.
2. Melt candy melts in microwave (see melting directions on package).
3. Dip the ends of the pretzel rods in chocolate and leave to set on wax paper.
4. When the candy is completely hardened, wrap labels around rods, and secure with tape.
5. ENJOY! :D
