It’s time to celebrate the School year! These Back to School Candy Pencils are perfect for a Back to School Party, after-school treat, or make enough to share with the class and send them on the First Day of School.

My daughter is obsessed with Rolos! I might just surprise her with these after school!
I don’t think I would have the patience to make a class set of these, but for a teacher gift on the first day, they would be adorable! Thanks for sharing!
I love the way you think, Liz! This is something I would have totally loved when my kids were home. Heck, even my college girls would love these!
Such a great idea. I will feature it on my site and pin board.
These are adorable. I am a grandmother and my grandson is in highschool so I won’t be making these for him but I do gift packaging for some marketing girls and I think one of these tied on to a tag for an August gift would be darling. Thank you for the very clear tutorial! Visting from Skip To My Lou!
These are so cute, Liz! I love them!
Thanks Amy! They were pretty fun to make!
