Let’s make some pencils! 

Ingredients

• 1 package vanilla wafer cookies
• ¼ cup pink candy melts
• ¼ cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
• 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips

Steps to Make Pencil Wafer Cookies

1. Line your workspace with parchment paper.

2. Trim the corners off one end of each vanilla wafer with a serrated knife to form a pencil point.

3. Melt pink candy melts per package instructions. I microwave at 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring between.

4. Dip the flat end of each cookie into the melted pink coating and set on parchment to harden.

5. Melt white chocolate per package instructions. Coat the pointed end of each cookie, then immediately press a mini chocolate chip onto the very tip for the pencil lead. Return to parchment until set.

Storage: Pencils should be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
