Safety notes
- ⚠️ Ensure children do not run with the plastic butter knives or pretzel sticks. Check for gluten or dairy allergies regarding the cookies and frosting before beginning.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Wipe down the table with a warm, damp cloth to remove any sticky chocolate frosting residue. Place unused snacks back into airtight containers and discard the parchment paper sheets.
