Zebra themed chocolate dipped Rice Krispies Treats with hot pink bling sticks - cute party idea - no bake treat

This post may contain affiliate links. Click here to learn more.

I made these for our Red Carpet themed bingo a couple years ago and they were such a big hit. I decided to try a zebra print theme this time.

Bling sticks are great for dipped marshmallows, Rice Krispies Treats, candy apples, lollipops, Oreos, cake pops, or any treat on a stick.

What you need to make bling treat sticks:

Bling ribbon or diamond wrap

4" paper or lollipop sticks

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

I searched Amazon for diamond ribbon and found several sizes and colors.

When measuring make sure you leave enough space at the end of the stick to add the treat.

I used 4" sticks and counted 13 faux rhinestones of ribbon.

I found this 1" bling ribbon at Dollar Tree. The other ribbon I used was 3/4" so I needed to trim a row off lengthwise. The width only needs to be four faux rhinestones.

Add hot glue to the first row and place the stick.

Next add hot glue to the last row and roll the stick until the first and last row are touching. Gently press to down to secure the hot glue.

DONE!

What you need to make the zebra themed treats:

Mini Squares Rice Krispies Treats

Black and white Candy Melts

Wilton icing tip #1 or #2

Melt candy melts and dip the stick just to cover the very end.

Insert into Rice Krispies Treats and let dry.

Melt candy melts and dip.

Let dry. You can place in the fridge for 3-5 mins.

Melt black candy melts and draw zebra lines. I started with Wilton tip #3 and it was way too large. I move down to a #2 tip but I think the #1 will give you more control to make thinner lines.

Bagged and added a zebra ribbon. Ribbon purchased from Micheal's craft store.

Chocolate dipped Pretzel Rods - EASTER TREAT IDEA - Tips & tricks for dipping - DIY tutorial

Dipped pretzel rods are so easy to make and easy to match a color theme.

Supplies:

Pretzel Rods

Candy Melts

Sprinkles

Coconut oil - optional

Bowls for melting

Tall cups for dipping

Parchment paper

Pretzel bags

Ribbon

I made 40 pretzel rods.

2 bags of the HEB brand pretzel rods. Several were broken or I could've made more.

2 bags of candy melts (pink and yellow) and I almost used the entire bag of both colors.

2 small bags of Wilton Spring Sprinkles.

I used tall narrow glasses for dipping.

I have the candy melts pictured in the glasses prior to melting but I did not heat them in the glass.

I used bowls to heat the candy melts and transferred to the glasses. The glass gets too hot to hold and it's much easier in the bowl. I did a tutorial and details about the coconut oil HERE. I added to each bowl to make the consistency a little thinner for easier dipping.

Dipped pretzel and lightly shook off the excess without touching the glass. Placed on parchment paper.

I only dipped the ends but you could use taller glasses or fill the glass up more.

Dip 3-5 pretzels and add sprinkles.

Let dry. If needed you can place them in the refrigerator for about 5 mins to harden faster. Do not leave them in there for long. Candy melts get sticky if left in the fridge.

If you refrigerated, wait until back to room temp before bagging.

Bag and add matching ribbon.

We brought them to bingo for all the residents and staff.

I absolutely love these bling treat sticks.

Great for dipped marshmallows, Rice Krispies Treats, candy apples, lollipops, Oreos, cake pops, or any treat on a stick.

We hosted a red carpet/movie star themed event and everything HAD to be extra fancy.
I will say that this detail was talked about the most.

They were really easy to make and everyone was so impressed.

The ribbon and sticks were both purchased at Michael's. I found the bling ribbon in so many colors. Perfect way to match a color or party theme.
I also found some at Dollar Tree but it's 1" instead of 3/4".
