Edible Dino Fossils - Arts, Crafts and DIY

DINO FOSSILS perfect for a Dinosaur themed party. These are a hit, a taste sensation and the kids live the effect. (big kids too)

Material

Packet Pretzel Sticks
Packet White Chocolate Melts
Packet Mini Marshmellows

Method

Stick a mini Marshmellow onto each end of the pretzel Sticks. Make as many or as few as you wish.
Melt your white chocolate melts (follow instructions on packet)
You need to have a baking paper lined tray for this step. And don't take too long, the chocolate starts to set quickly. Dip each stick into chocolate and lay on tray.

Notes

A hint would be to do the chocolate in small batches as the dipping process can take time. Also you do not want the chocolate too runny otherwise it will NOT stick well and you will have a mess. Try not to place the finished fossils on the tray too closely together, this can prove tricky once set. This is fun and messy and can be time consuming, not for the faint hearted.

Cute idea! At first I thought them dog bones so I guess they could be used for that also

I wish I had known About this about 3 years ago. My youngster knew the names of every type – thanks to her Dad. I got into so much strife if I named them incorrectly

Hmmmm, not too sure with this one. My grandson is dinosaur crazy at the moment, but salty pretzels with chocolate…….does that really work?
