Ladybug Pretzel Treats
on May 28, 2014, Updated Oct 21, 2020
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.
Ladybug Pretzel Treats
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.
