What is it about sprinkles that makes everything better and more fun? Have you ever noticed the way a child's entire body language changes at the sight of them?
Eyebrows raise. Eyes light up as if the shine from the sprinkles is glaringly bright. Tiny fingers twitch while trying desperately not to touch. Smiles grow bigger and hope glimmers on a child's face. In Yaya's case, her entire body begins to jump for joy as she gleefully exclaims, "SPRINKLES!!!" The floodgates have crashed open leaving nothing left for her to do but ask, "Momma can I have (insert sprinkle coated item here)? PLEEEASE?!"
As soon as I saw the festive sprinkles I knew what I was going to make for her preschool class.
White chocolate dipped pretzel sticks with sprinkles!
All that's left to do now is pass them out and watch the magic of sprinkles begin.

They ARE fun:-)
Love it!!!!
I *just* told the kids today I want to make these for my Holiday Open House! I've never made them before. Is there a 'recipe' or instructions you follow?
T, All you have to do is melt white chocolate bark or white chocolate chips in a double boiler. Once they've melted dip the pretzel in. You might have to use a spoon to coat the pretzel. Allow the extra chocolate to drip off. Sprinkle with your favorite coating of chocolate, nuts, candy, etc. I found holding the freshly dipped pretzel in the freezer for 30-40 seconds seemed to help cool the outside faster so you could set them down on wax paper or foil without smashing the outside too bad. Once completely cool wrap in plastic bag and add a MK or decorative holiday tag.
They look so good!! I love dipped pretzels.
Wow!! Those look yummy. I bet they were a sprinkly hit too!!
Big hugs to you sweet friend!
Looks delicious! You're lucky that you get to do stuff like that for Yaya's class. I'm only allowed to bring packaged treats for my daughter, and it's not nearly as fun!
Have I mentioned how wonderful of a MOM you are to do such fun stuff for Yaya?!?!?! You inspire me...wish I had the time for that special stuff right now and am striving to get more of it into our days...busy or not!
