If you are needing a quick and easy treat for some of those cook outs this summer consider making these Ladybug Pretzel Treats. My kiddos and family loved our Easter Chick Pretzel Treats so much, I figured it was time to whip up some pretzel treats for the summer picnics and snacks. This Ladybug Pretzel treat Idea is so simple even the kiddos can help out with making them.

Just grab some pretzels, chocolate and a few candies. The sweet and salty together is perfect! Plus they are adorable. Look around your cabinets for different candies that will work for dots. You could also pipe black chocolate for the dots and white chocolate for the eyes.

I made these Ladybug Pretzel Treats this morning. I am going to let the kiddos enjoy them for an after school treat. I am thinking they will be great for our next grill out with friends.
