Cookie Monster Pretzels – Fun Sesame Street Party Treats

February 24, 2018 By This post may contain affiliate links.

If you want some fun Sesame Street party treats you’ve got to make these adorable Cookie Monster Pretzels. Each mini pretzel twist coated in blue candy melts and sprinkles has big, googly, candy eyes and a big mouth stuffed with a chocolate chip cookie.

Cookie Monster Pretzels

Cookie Monster Pretzels

Like most kids in America I grew up watching Sesame Street and the character I related to the most was the furry blue Cookie Monster. He couldn’t get enough cookies and was so elated every time he ate one. Yep, he was my kindred spirit. I’m sure many of you can relate.

All of the Muppets are so incredibly cute, but there’s something so sweet about the furry, blue, cookie-eating monster. The simple shape of Jim Henson’s puppets make them easy to recreate as food crafts.

When I came up with the idea of turning some Sesame Street characters into pretzels I just had to start with Cookie Monster. He has big googly eyes and a mouth that’s almost always stuffed with cookies.

Chocolate Pretzels Cookie Monster Treats Sesame Street PartyThese cute Cookie Monster Pretzels are super easy to make and will be so much fun to serve to the kids at your  Sesame Street themed party.

  • You’ll start by dipping a mini pretzel twist into blue candy melts. You can find detailed instructions for working with candy melts on my Chocolate Making Tips page.
  • Then you’ll sprinkle on lots of blue jimmies (sprinkles). The blue jimmies not only make the candy dipped pretzels look furry but they also fill in the holes.
  • Add 1/2 inch candy eyes and a Mini Oreo Cookie mouth and you have Cookie Monster.
  • Stuff a cookie in his mouth to make him look even cuter. You’ll need tiny chocolate chip cookies. Cookie Crisp cereal works great.
  • Cut about 1/3rd off of each cookie so that you can attach them to Cookie Monster’s mouth using some of the blue candy melts.
  • If you can’t find chocolate chip cookie cereal, you could always make tiny homemade cookies or create them out of modeling chocolate.

    I love Cookie Monster too! Sesame Street was such a big part of my childhood as well and you’ve perfectly captured the silly blue monster! 🙂

      I hadn’t thought about it until reading your comment just how much Cookie Monster has been a part of my life. I actually owned a Cookie Monster costume that I used for my first retail store. I sold cookies and chocolates and I’d hire people to wear the costume for events and to pass out flyers or wave at customers driving by. I still have a few Cookie Monster t-shirts. He’s definitely been a big part of my life too!

    Sesame Street came after my time, but EVERYONE knows and loves him now no matter their age. Thanks for the size of the eyes and other tips so we get it right the very first time. Your detail is much appreciated.

    Bet YOUR Cookie Monster brought a lot of customers into your shop. Who could resist? 🙂

      Someone asked me to make one of the newer characters from the show and I had no idea who she was talking about. I’m a bit out of touch, but the Muppets I grew up with and even Elmo will always have a place in my heart. The Cookie Monster costume really worked wonders. Everyone was excited to see the furry blue monster at my store.
