Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Round chocolate sandwich cookies
- 48 pieces Mini pretzel twists
- 24 pieces Candy eyes
- 24 pieces Candy-coated chocolate drops (e.g., M&M’s or similar)
- 60 pieces Candy corn
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
- 3 drops Red food coloring
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for assembling the treats.
Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip the top of each chocolate sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, attach 4 mini pretzel twists to the back of each cookie to resemble a turkey's tail feathers.
Press 5 pieces of candy corn (pointed side down) into the chocolate above the pretzels to create colorful feather accents.
Attach 2 candy eyes to the front of each cookie using a small dab of melted chocolate as glue.
Add a candy-coated chocolate drop below the candy eyes to form the beak.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Add the red food coloring to create a vibrant red melted chocolate.
Using a toothpick or piping bag, add a small red wattle under each candy-coated chocolate drop on the cookie.
Let the Pretzel Tailed Turkey Treats sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate sets and holds the components together.
Once set, carefully transfer the treats to a serving platter and enjoy!
