Scale
Base Ingredients
- 12 mini pretzels
- 12 Rolo candies, unwrapped
Decorations
- 36 candy corn pieces (3 per turkey)
- 24 candy eyes (2 per turkey)
- 12 yellow or orange Reese’s Pieces (1 per turkey)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250º F to prepare for softening the chocolate on the Rolos.
- Arrange Pretzels: Lay out the 12 mini pretzels on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
- Warm Rolo Candies: Place the baking sheet with pretzels in the oven for about 2 minutes, just until the chocolate on the Rolos becomes shiny and soft but not fully melted; this makes them easier to attach decorations.
- Add Candy Corn Feathers: Immediately after removing from the oven, stick 3 candy corn pieces into the top of each Rolo candy to form turkey feathers.
- Attach Eyes: Place two candy eyes at the top center of each Rolo candy to create the turkey’s eyes.
- Add Beak: Position one yellow or orange Reese’s Pieces candy between the eyes to serve as the turkey’s beak.
- Set in Fridge: Place the assembled turkey pretzels in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the decorations to set securely.
- Serve or Store: Remove from the fridge and enjoy immediately, or store the turkey pretzels in an airtight container to keep fresh.
Notes
- Make sure the oven temperature is not too high, as you only want to soften the chocolate, not melt it completely.
- You can substitute candy eyes with edible markers or icing if preferred.
- These treats are best consumed within a few days for optimal freshness.
- If you don’t have candy corn, other small colorful candies can be used as feathers.
- Keep the assembled pretzels refrigerated if you are not serving them immediately to maintain their shape.
