Elmo Pretzels – Cute Sesame Street Party Food

Elmo Pretzels

Elmo is one of the sweetest of all the Sesame Street Characters and he just got even sweeter! I grew up long before Elmo hit the scene over on Sesame Street but I still remember the first time I saw this lovable Muppet and heard his voice. Back in 1996 I was busy running my candy store, didn’t have kids, and didn’t watch much T.V., but I kept hearing about this Tickle Me Elmo doll that everyone was trying to get their hands on for Christmas.

I didn’t know who or what Elmo was at the time, so I had to turn on PBS to find out. I was immediately enamored with the baby-talking, red-fur-covered-monster who had won the hearts of toddlers all over America. He was so likable and irresistibly cute.

When I decided to create some of the Muppets from Sesame Street out of pretzels, I started by making Cookie Monster Pretzels and knew I had to make Elmo Pretzels too.

What do you think? Are these Elmo Pretzels as sweet as Elmo is himself? I think so!

They are easy to make too. Just dip a pretzel in red candy melts, attach a cookie mouth, a candy nose, two candy eyes, then cover the whole thing in red jimmies (sprinkles) and you have Elmo. You can find detailed instructions for working with candy melts on my Chocolate Making Tips page.
