Based on the newest Pixar movie, Onward, these Wizard Staff Pretzels are perfect for a dessert or an anytime snack. While this recipe uses homemade pretzel dough, you could use a store bought variety. Or, you could cheat and use a certain crescent dough, too.

The fun part of this recipe is making the wand itself. The kids can let their personality come through in creating the wand shape. Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect every time.
