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!

Easter is tomorrow and we wanted to share some pictures (OK a lot of pictures) from of our Easter Dinner. We had it on Friday because of all the Easter activities on the weekend. Some of these recipes can be adapted to the taste of your family members. Check back for links to these recipes next week.

Black Chalk Eggs

Natural Brown Eggs

Chocolate Dipped Egg Marshmallows with Pink Lemonade

Chocolate Dipped Egg Marshmallows

*1 Bag Egg Shaped Marshmallows (Egg Swirlers, Campfire)

*Chocolate Almond Bark, melted in microwave on 30 second increments until melted

*Pastel Sprinkles, we used Wilton brand

Note: Cut marshmallows about 1 1/2 inches from the base of the egg marshmallow or you could use white lollipop sticks, inserting stick into the base of the base of the egg and dipping in chocolate as desired. (You could use a Styrofoam block to insert dipped egg marshmallow lollipops to dry.)

Dip each egg shaped marshmallow top into melted chocolate almond bark and sprinkle with pastel sprinkles. Allow dipped egg marshmallows to dry on drinking glass.
