Today was my daughter Emily's class Easter party. My friend Susan was in charge of snacks. She created these cute snacks that were a huge hit with the kids. I loved that they were special for the kids but were not pure sugar and food dye. These are the instructions from Susan.
- Break a long pretzel stick in half. This makes the cross beam.
- Dip the ends in chocolate (white or brown) of the broken shorter pretzel and a full pretzel.
- Place the long pretzel on a cookie sheet or wax paper. Add a drop of chocolate 2/3 of the way up. Place the broken pretzel on the drop of chocolate.
- Add more chocolate on top of the broken pretzel where the two pretzels meet.
- If desired, add sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm.
Susan suggested using an extra pretzel to hold up the "cross beam" pretzel while the chocolate is still drying.
I was thinking it would be cute to make purple chocolate from white chocolate. You could make the center section looked draped in purple. That is probably more complicated than I personally could make - but I know some of you out there who could do that!
Enjoy!

great project. You can buy chocolate in all colers at the craft stores or Wallmart. Chocolate can be melted (slowly) with stirring in the microwave. Then spoon the chocolate onto the pretzel--or into a mold. Have fun. Cute idea.
how about a fruit roll up draped over it?
you guys are way creative!
