Samson’s Weights

Materials (gives 5 dumbbell cookies)

• 1 package of fudge striped chocolate cookies
• Six oz. chocolate to melt
• 5 long pretzels
• 10 LifeSavers candies
• Tube of white icing

Steps

1. Prepare the snack before class.
2. Melt chocolate according to the instructions on the packaging.
3. Break the ends of the pretzel stems, so that each stem is approximately 5-6″ long.
4. Spoon the melted chocolate over the center of each pretzel stick, leaving about 3/4″ of the ends uncoated.
5. Slide 3 cookies on each end of the pretzel stems, dry them on wax paper. Melted chocolate will help the cookies stay in place (so do it when the chocolate is still liquid).
6. Slide LifeSavers candy on to the ends of each pretzel stick.
7. Now, if you want to add numbers to your weights, (it adds a little something):  use tube of white icing.
