    I plan to make these again for Thanksgiving!ย  These would be so fun to make as a family for a great night in activity. Now that the weather is getting colder we are trying to do more things at home.

    Plus how cute are these to enjoy together. I mean seriously how cute are these Pretzel Turkeys! So much fun!

    They would also be great packaged up as small gifts for family members at Thanksgiving. I can imagine a few grandparents swooning over the cuteness of them.

    Turkey Pretzels Rodsย Ingredients

    • Pretzel Rods
    • Reeseโ€™s Pieces, orange, and yellows, cut in half
    • Chocolate Chips, or candy melts

    • Candy Pearls or Candy eyes
    • Cocoa Krispies

    Turkey Pretzels Rods Directions

    • Break Pretzel Rods in half.
    • Melt chocolate in the microwave, 30 seconds and stir, 15-second increments stirring after each until melted and smooth, let sit at least 5 minutes to set up just a little to make it easier to work with.
    • On a piece of wax paper layout, 3 candy corns in a fan shape with the pointy side in.

    Turkey Pretzels Rods Process start

    • Using a spoon cover a Pretzel Rod with Chocolate.ย  Leave a little extra on the top back part to stick to the candy corn.

    • Apply 2 Pearls for eyes at the top end by the Candy Corn.ย  You may need to hold them for a few seconds so they set.
