First, we melted Wilton Candy Melts in plastic piping bags. I love using the candy melts, they come in all sorts of fun colors, taste great and really easy to use! You just pour the chips into a bag, melt them in the microwave according to the directions, snip the end of the bag off, and squeeze! I got a pack of 12 plastic piping bags at Mitsuwa for $1.95, they are SO much easier to use than the ziplock baggies i used to use for this.
I found a really cool Wilton candy mold at Michaels to make chocolate covered oreos! You just squeeze melted candy into the mold about 2/3 full, and stick and oreo in the middle. I used pink and white candy melts for this project. Arent these just the cutest things ever?? After they cooled in the fridge until they were solid, I put each oreo into little cello bags and tied it off with with some super cute pink ribbon that says "Its a girl!" in pink glitter.
Next we made chocolate covered pretzel rods. I found this Wilton candy mold at Michaels as well. Same as the oreos, you just decorate the mold with melted chocolate, and stick a pretzel rod in it and cool. Thank you Jen for your awesome work on these! We put the cooled pretzel rods in cello bags and tied off the end with the same pink ribbon.
Here are all the goodies we made last night! We made a total of 16 chocolate covered oreos and 9 chocolate covered pretzel rods. I think in total we used 1 bag of pink wilton candy melts, and 1.5 bags of white wilton candy melts.
Tonight I will be making mini chocolate/strawberry cupcakes as well as finishing the lemon cake pops, so I will post on those goodies on the weekend!
Jamie, you are incredibly crafty. I didn't even know you can buy these molds! They look really professional.
