My friend came over for coffee and we sat there mulling over the best way to do this. Making them wasn't the hard part --- getting them to sit upright to dry was a challenge. I was partially successful using one of the drink carriers from a fast food joint. But, they started falling into each other. UGH! We then spotted an egg carton and my friend suggested poking holes in the bottom of the container. It was pure genius! I flipped the carton upside down and on each egg space there was a circle. I used a steak knife and cut out the circles.
I then microwaved the melting candy (I used full power, not the half power,as the package suggested, and it worked just fine and was quick!) I rolled the pretzel sticks into the melted chocolate and used a scrapper to make sure that the ends were equally covered. I then carefully placed the uncandied end into the hole and VIOLA! It worked!! I did have a little bit of any issue with them running into each other, but, it still was wayyyy easier than the cup carrier.
As you can see I ended up making too many. They do make a lovely lightsaber bouquets!
And I must add that pretzels sticks and vanilla flavored chocolate tastes delicious. I have a feeling there may be some leftovers and I am very happy about that!! More for me!!!!!!!
Till next time...
