Dinner Parties Archives - Page 41 of 70 - Garden Seeds and Honey Bees

We used these for party favors at our Easter Dinner Party and these carrots would also be fun for a garden party.

Note: I know candy melts are a true chocolate covering, but you could use any chocolate you like to cover pretzels.

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Carrots

*Stick Pretzels, I used around 70, filling 7 bags

*1 cup Orange Candy Melts

*1/2 cup Green Candy Melts

*Carrot Bags, Dollar Store or Walmart

*Jute

*Wax Paper

In 2 glass measuring cups, melting colors separately, melt the candy melts in 30 second increments until melted. Dip the pretzel into the cup with orange melted melts 3/4 the way up the pretzel. Then allow them to dry on wax paper. Then dip the other end of pretzel into the melted green candy melts and allow drying on wax paper.

Place 10 covered pretzel carrots in each carrot bag and tie with a piece of jute.

Enjoy!
