Bacon and egg cookies

This is a great recipe and one of my family's favorites (to make and eat).

You will need...

One bag pretzel sticks
One block of white almond bark or a bag of white chocolate chips.
One medium bag of M & M's

First lay out waxed paper on a working surface. You will need quite a bit of room for working and drying the cookies. Wet the work surface first until it's pretty wet and then lay the waxed paper over it. This helps the waxed paper to stick to the surface much better and it will not curl up on you.

In a bowl seperate all of the M & M's. You will need the yellow ones. The orange ones also work (just call them farm eggs).

Lay the pretzels sticks out two at a time next to each other on the waxed paper. They represent the bacon.

Melt the bark or white chocolate in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth.

Take a spoon and pour a small portion of melted white bark over the middle of the pretzel sticks.

When this is done take one of the yellow M& M's and drop it into the center of the melted bark.

This makes it look like an egg over the pretzel stick bacon. Allow them to dry and then eat them. They really do look like eggs and bacon. My kids and hubby just love them. They are very easy and very creative.

Enjoy!
