Easter treats for kidsGather your supplies:

Orange and vibrant green candy melts
Dipping pretzel sticks
Oreos
Packaging materials {pretzel bags, twine, freebie printable}
Glass or mason jar for melting
Toothpick
Shortening (use approximately 1 tsp to thin candy melts. Don’t use water!)

Instructions:

Melt orange candies and dip 3/4 of pretzel in the jar.
Add shortening as needed. I like to add about 1 tsp to thin it out a bit.
Set aside on parchment paper to dry.
Melt green candies and dip the remaining uncovered part of the pretzel.
Set aside to dry.
Using a toothpick, press gently into the orange candy to form 3 carrot wrinkles.
Grind up oreos (filling and all) in your food processor.
Add oreo dirt and three carrot pretzels to a bag.
Tie off with some twine and the freebie printable.

  1. oh my these are absolutely adorable. I hope I have time to make some for Sunday I’m in love. I would love you to add these and any other posts you’re proud of to my what we wore, read, and made link party today 🙂

    • I made some of the pretzel carrots. What a great idea!! Where can I find the pretzel bags?

      • Thank you! You can find the bags at any craft store like Michaels, AC Moore, or Hobby Lobby in the cake decorating department.

    • I’m not sure what went wrong? When I dip the pretzel stick into the melted candy it comes out clean??? I’m using snyder’s of hanover pretzel rods from Michael’s. I tried thinning the melts a bit more with butter but it just isn’t working? Not sure what I’m doing wrong??? Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks!

      • Are you using butter or shortening? If it is butter, that could be the reason why it’s not sticking. I hope you’re able to get it to work!

  4. But Oreo has the cream fillings. I don’t see it in yours. Did you remove the cream fillings first then ground them?

  5. So cute! Might be silly question, but do you just microwave the candy to melt in mason jar?

    • Before. You add the shortening if you need to thin out the candy after you have melted it. Just add a little at a time, until you have the right consistency.

  8. So cute! Do you use regular small pretzel sticks, or is there a kind made especially for dipping? If so, where do I get them? Thanks!
