Pretzel Turkey Treats Recipe
  • Prep: 2 hours + standing
  • Yield: 12 Servings
    •
120 120

Ingredients

  • 6 Fruit by the Foot fruit rolls
  • 6 circus peanut candies
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips, divided
  • 24 candy eyeballs
  • 6 chocolate-covered thin mints
  • 12 large sourdough pretzels
  • 36 milk chocolate kisses
  • 12 vanilla wafers
  • 12 yellow milk chocolate M&M's

Directions

  • Cut feathers and wattles from fruit rolls. Cut three circus peanuts in half widthwise. Cut 12 feet from remaining circus peanuts. Set aside.
  • Set aside 12 butterscotch chips for beaks. In a microwave, melt 1/2 cup chips; stir until smooth. Using melted chips, attach two candy eyeballs, a beak and a wattle to each circus peanut half. Repeat, using thin mints for heads.
  • Place a pretzel on a waxed paper-lined microwave-safe plate. Place a chocolate kiss in each of the three holes. Microwave on high for 15-20 seconds or until melted. While still warm, arrange feathers in a fan shape over pretzel, pressing gently into melted chocolate to adhere. Repeat with remaining pretzels and kisses.
  • Melt remaining butterscotch chips. Using melted chips, attach a vanilla wafer to each pretzel for body; attach heads. Attach M&M's and circus peanut pieces as desired for feet. Let stand until set. Yield: 1 dozen.
