Rainbow Treats

The school where I work recently held a Parent Expo.  They wanted to give away something to the families who took applications to enroll in our school.  Since it was St. Patrick's Day weekend, they also wanted something to fit the holiday.  It made me think of these rainbow treats I recently came across on Pinterest.  There were many variations of the treats, so I decided to pull aspects from each that I liked to create my own.


First, you will need the following materials:



I chose to use multicolor Twizzlers because it would be much easier and cheaper than buying Skittles and separating them by colors.  In addition, I utilized the Twizzlers by cutting them in half.  I was able to make 12 rainbows per bag of Twizzlers.

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Drop 2 rolos in the pretzel bag.
  2. Pick out 5 colors for the rainbow.  Line them up, and drop in carefully.  There will always be one color Twizzler not chosen since only 5 can fit in the bag.  I made sure to follow ROY G BIV of course!
  3. Then top it off with some marshmallows.  I chose to add 7 for each one because I felt that amount looked the best.



For the topper, I wanted to personalize it for the event.  So I create one with our school's logo and the logo for the Expo.

 

On the back, I wanted to add a quote that had something to do with children, families, and education.  I found the perfect one from non other than Dolly Parton!


They were such a big hit and I really enjoyed making them :)
