Thanks Tasha!

Good Idea Allison.

Maybee I will do the postcards. I wanted something better to give out to the kids that come thru the fair on daycare day. I can attach a piece of candy or something to the PC. Last year I gave out stickers. While the kids liked it it did me no good getting to the parents. I want them to have something to pique their curiosity!

I made these for my open house the day I got back from Conference. I just used the tub of Bakers Chocolate. It works wonders, and so not messy! Easy clean up and yummy results.

I just made these for may son's preschool. I melted the White chocolate chips and put them into a resealable bag and snipped off the end. I then piped a 1" long body onto parchment on my frozen Chillzanne platter. I did about 10 bodies at a time. If you do too many, they will harden before you get the pretzels in. After they hardened, my 3 year old son helped me decorate the wings. I dipped the tips of the wings in more melted chocolate and he then dipped them in the colored sugar.

They were not expensive to make. I got 5 dozen butterflies out of 1 bag of chocolate chips and 1/2 a bag of pretzels.

We took them to his preschool and all the kids loved them. And, not a single one broke.

You definitely need chocolate melts or choclate melting chocolate. You CANNOT use chocolate chips or any kind of baking chocolate! After you melt it, it won't set up! Plus, chocoalte chips are treated with something (I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head) that makes them not melt properly... that's why when you make cookies, they maintain their cute chip shape.

Use the wilton melts (like mentioned above) or melting chocolate you get at a cake or candy shop. They will give you the best results and will set up fairly quickly using a frozen stone.

Hope that helps!

You can use the white chips. I used Nestle Toll House White Chocolate chips and they worked great. I did not try the regular chocolate, they must be made differently. They set just fine on my Chillzanne and none of them broke.
