Smart Cookie Bar

Yesterday my oldest graduated from junior high (sigh) & we had a small open house after the ceremony for family & friends. The graduate asked for cookies instead of the customary cake & requested four of his favorites. It was perfect, guests could help themselves anytime they wanted. It was also great for favors-guests could take home a small bag of their favorites. He is definitely one smart cookie!

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Cigars

Remember those custom cigar labels I posted yesterday? Here is the finished product-chocolate covered pretzel rod cigars! They are the perfect addition to the Havana nights birthday party this weekend! I love how we displayed them in a cigar box-it makes them look so much like real cigars! They were so easy to make: simply dip the pretzel rods in dark chocolate, let them cool & harden & wrap the labels around the rod. (I found it easier to make the labels first and them wrap them around the pretzel.
Wouldn't this make a great Father's Day treat/present? And they are so much sweeter than the real thing!
