Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 30 inches long per necklace) Sturdy, food-safe string or twine
- 15 pieces Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Cheerios or other ring-shaped cereal
- 5 pieces Dried apple rings
- 10 pieces Gummy ring candies
- 2 pieces, cut into smaller rings if needed Licorice ropes
Instructions
Cut the sturdy, food-safe string or twine into 30-inch pieces, leaving enough length to tie the ends together comfortably. If making multiple necklaces, repeat for each.
Ensure the ends of the string are slightly stiffened by applying tape or dipping them in melted wax. This helps make threading easier.
Organize all your edible ingredients into small bowls to make them easy to access during assembly.
Start threading the edible items onto the string. Alternate between items like mini pretzels, dried apple rings, cereal, gummy rings, and licorice pieces. Get creative with the pattern or let kids design their own.
Leave about 2 inches of blank string on both ends to allow room for tying.
Once satisfied with the necklace's design, tie the two ends of the string together securely in a double knot, ensuring the necklace won't come apart during wear.
Trim off any extra string from the knot, being careful not to cut too close.
Your edible survival necklace is ready to wear, snack on, or pack for your next adventure!
