Edible Crayons for the feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

The feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is celebrated on January 4th. Here is a snack that was served at one of our Little Flowers Girls' Club meetings last year, based on the virtue of Perseverance and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, since Mother Seton laid the foundation of the American parochial school system.

Edible Crayons

Ingredients:

• Pretzel Rods
• Candy Melts (or white chocolate bark/chocolate chips with a little of your favorite food coloring added)
• Paper Labels (make them yourself from construction paper with black squiggly lines)

Instructions:

• Break or cut pretzel rods in half.
• Melt candy melts or chocoalte chips in microwave on medium heat for 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking at 15 second intervals until melted. Stir well. Add a few drops food coloring if desired. Dip ends of pretzels in melted candy.
• Place on wax paper or aluminum foil to dry.
• When dry, wrap with labels and secure with tape.

Four "crayons" will fit perfectly in the little cardboard crayon boxes.  You can then add a printed picture of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton to the outside of each box!
