Elmo Pretzels – Cute Sesame Street Party Food

Published: Feb 24, 2018 · Recipe by: Beth · This post may contain affiliate links.

Elmo Pretzels make cute Sesame Street party food. Each mini pretzel twist coated in red candy melts and red sprinkles is decorated with a big chocolate cookie mouth, an orange candy nose, and cute candy eyes.

Elmo Pretzels

Elmo is one of the sweetest of all the Sesame Street Characters and he just got even sweeter as Elmo Pretzels! 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.

Watch this video to see just how easy these Elmo Pretzels are to make…

    Elmo is so Cute! I did a Elmo birthday party for my little girl when she was 2. Now she has a son and he loves Elmo. I guess Elmo will never get old.
    I wish I could do these in Tom and Jerry. My daughter is have a Tom and Jerry Party for my grandson and something like this would be too cute!

      I agree, Elmo will be popular for a very long time. He’s just so darn cute. Tom and Jerry would be a bit more challenging to make out of pretzels but I think it definitely could be done. If you give it a try I’d love to see pictures.

    I did not realize that Elmo had been here for over 20 years! I remember the Tickle Me Elmos were still popular in 2004 when we were buying one for Christmas for our grandson! Yes. your Elmo is just as cute as your Cookie Monster..and they both look yummy! 🙂

      I know it’s amazing to think Elmo has been a part of the Sesame Street family for that long. I know he’ll be a part of kids lives for a very long time to come.
