The day after I sent an order to Current for the pretzel molds, I found them in the Wilton aisle at WalMart...at a much reduced price. Go figure! So I bought them there too - it was a different pattern...now I have options.
One set of molds is a stack of flowers - the other has L-O-V-E and X-O-X-O's....too fun!
They also sell bags to fit the long pretzel too, and that just adds more special-ness to the whole thing. Presentation is such an important aspect you know! Mine were purchased separately from the molds.
I probably should have placed more of the pretzel end into the candy as some of my rods went almost to the end of the bag, which made it a little tricky to wrap the twisty tie around them...so be aware of that if you decide to make these.
I used these candy discs, and also melted some vanilla chips for some too. (The packaged pretzel bags are at the top of the picture below)
Get yourself a bag of pretzel rods and you're ready to go...let the fun begin!
MMM huh?
(the flower is velvet)
And I think very cute! (I used a toothpick to fill in the L O V E and X O X O with contrasting color - not a very professional job, but I'm pleased with them). They'd be nice for any holiday...always special to give of your time and the work of your hands away!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S WEEK!!
