Harry Potter Gryffindor or Firebolt Party Desserts
These are so pretty and can be altered depending on what your colors of your party are. I love using the maroon and yellow assorted sprinkles. I think it gives the Harry Potter inspired wand a nice touch.If you do not relate to the Gryffindor house simple switch up the colors for Slytherian, HufflePuff or Raveclaw.
These chocolate dipped “Harry Potter Gryffindor Wands” would also work for any variety of Harry Potter parties- showers, weddings, graduations. These would also look and taste fantastic for a bake sale. I would wrap 2 chocolate pretzels in a cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon and a tag.
These chocolate covered pretzels make a great addition to any dessert table or centerpiece for a party and really they are so easy to make and are not time consuming.
I keep the finished pretzels refrigerated until party time just so they do not melt and make messy hands.
