Pretzel Crayon Wrappers {free printable}

May 3-7 is teacher appreciation week and May 4th is teacher appreciation day.  Most schools will honor their teachers during this week and parents can too!  I wanted to share a tasty idea with you.

Pretzel Crayon Wrappers

Pretzel crayons are fun and easy to make, not to mention they taste great!  Follow the directions below and download the free pretzel crayon wrappers to make a colorful treat for your child’s teacher to eat.  These would also be great for a back to school bash.

Materials Needed

•Candy melts (I used Wilton brand)

•Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided Twists (these are the perfect size, found at Wal-Mart)

•Colored paper ( thinner paper wraps better around the pretzels, cardstock is too stiff)

•Free pretzel crayon wrapper templates {link above}

•Tape

How to Make

1.Prepare the candy melts according to the package directions.

2.Lay out waxed paper.  Dip one half of each pretzel into the melted candy.  Shake off the excess and lay gently on the wax paper to dry.

3.After they have dried, dip the other half into the melted candy.  Shake off the excess and lay gently on the waxed paper to dry.

4.While pretzels are drying, print the pretzel crayon wrapper templates onto colored paper.  Cut out the wrappers.

5.Take the pretzels and cover with the wrapper.  You can use double sided tape or regular tape to keep it closed.  I don’t recommend glue since these will be eaten.

6.Package in a crayon box for that little extra touch.  You can find a great crayon box template here: http://www.jersgirl.com/templates/crayonsbox16_jersgirl.jpg
