These Turkey pretzel rods are fun to make and they taste amazing!! In my opinion, you can never go wrong with chocolate, the candy corn makes the treat just even sweeter! I plan to make these again for Thanksgiving! 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.
