Edible crayons

Many of you have asked how these cute little crayons were made so here you go. 

You start with pretzel sticks.  I used rold gold, but any of the thick sticks will do. I cut them in half with a serrated knife. 

Then took bowls of different colored chocolate wafers and melted them. 

The wilton ones work great about a minute and a half in the microwave and they were ready to dip. 

I then put them on some wax paper and let them dry. 

Next I printed the labels.  You can find them here or make your own.  I attached them with a piece of tape.

And ready to eat... or sell which is what I did for our march of dimes bake sale!

What a catch!

Peas and beans planted!

Attempting to get 5 kids to look at the camera

As you can see I was not successful!

Happy Easter

Hope everyone had a great easter.

 We spent the morning going to church and hunting for Easter eggs.

 We then attempted to get pictures of each of the kids individually

 and together

 and a new family portrait

 Which would have been nice if someone was not wearing sunglasses

Happy Easter
