Magical Wands

Transform plain refrigerated pizza dough or plain crescent dough into enchanting wands, adorned with Mother’s® Mythical Creatures Cookies, colorful sprinkles, and shimmering edible glitter.
 

Yield: 16 Wands
Prep Time: 1 Hour

Ingredients

  • 1 x 9 oz. package of Mother’s Mythical Creatures Cookies
  • 1 x tube or roll of prepared plain crescent dough or plain pizza dough sheet
  • 20 oz. white melting chocolate
  • ½ cup sprinkles, assorted purple, silver, and rainbow
  • 3 tablespoons edible silver shimmer dust

Directions

  1. First, place a bag of Mother’s Mythical Creatures Cookies on a cutting board and use a rolling pin (or similar object) to crush the cookies to your desired size. If you prefer, you can transfer your cookies to a gallon-sized resealable bag before crushing. This will allow you to monitor your progress while you work.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  3. Unroll the dough to flat. If using crescent roll dough, pinch the perforated lines together to form a solid sheet. Cut it into 16 equal strips.
  4. To make the wands, take each strip and roll it back and forth on the counter to form a round strand. Fold the strand in half and twist the two pieces around each other to form a braided look, stretching to about 12 inches long.
  5. Place the braided wands on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the wands are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Allow the wands to cool. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals and stirring until smooth.
  8. Dip each wand into the melted chocolate, leaving a portion uncoated at the bottom for the handle. Tap gently to remove excess chocolate.
  9. Before the chocolate sets, press the crushed cookies into the chocolate and shake on desired amount of sprinkles and edible glitter.
  10. Place the wands back on the baking tray and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
  11. Once the chocolate is firm, your Magical Wands are ready to be served and enjoyed.

Chef’s Notes

  1. Choose pizza dough for wands that need to withstand enthusiastic child play since it’s durable and easy to handle.
  2. Crushing the cookies is simple—place them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to break them down into pebble sized bits.
