sweet treats for spring

I love being crafty.  I needed a little thank you token for some meeting attendees last week and found this idea.  I took the opportunity to "work from home" and make these.  Kid-friendly and Lucas loved helping.  The recipients loved them, too. 

Ingredients:
- 2 bags of semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 bag pretzel sticks
- 1 bag jelly beans
- 30 marshmallow Peeps
- 1 container marshmallow creme

Directions:
Melt chocolate chips very slowly in a stock pot.  You could also use a double broiler or melt in glass bowl in microwave.  Add the pretzels to the chocolate. Stir in until covered. Use tongs or a fork to place coated pretzels on wax paper. I didn't purposely try to build a nest as much as just a pile of sticks.  Cool in your fridge or freezer to speed the process. Don't worry if not fully coated.  After the chocolate has cooled, use a knife to dab marshmallow creme for Peeps to stick on the nest.  Top with Peep.  Sprinkle with jelly beans.
