Magic Wands

Tried it. Liked it. So versatile too. I wanted to pile lots of goodies on my sticks so the frosting is better than almond bark as a good mortar. I got fruity cheerios, mini reese's, twizzler strings and lots of sprinkles to stick then drizzled the white almond bark for a finishing touch and flavor. The treat was well received. Used pretzel dipping sticks in addition to rods for smaller hands and tummies.

I did this recipe with my nice today she had fun making a magic wand.

Okay, I think these are incredibly easy and quick. If you make a lot, it will take a long time, obviously, but just a plateful was finished in about 20-3 mins. I think I used smaller pretzels--I used the pretzel sticks, and looking again at this recipe, it calls for pretzel rods. Either way, though it works. I did use vanilla frosting and regular sprinkles. I agree with reviewers who've stated it's easiest to roll the pretzels on the side of the can. I just used a knife to spread some frosting on the side, then just rolled the pretzel until I got the amount of frosting I wanted. Then I dipped in the sprinkles--If you dump the sprinkles into a mound, then dip and roll the frosting covered pretzels in the sprinkles, it works really well. I can see why others used melted chocolate or almond bark, but as a way of using up some extra frosting, this is fun. I made some with a friend while decorating cupcakes, and she ate all of them almost as soon as I'd made them! I made them today as a fun food contribution to a child's birthday party. thanks for the recipe!

Easy. Pretty. Used chocolate instead to make it less messy.
