Title: MM Turkeys
Ingredients:
– 1 package of mini pretzels
– 1 bag of milk chocolate candy melts
– 1 bag of candy eyes
– 1 package of small round candies (such as M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces)
– 1 small bag of yellow candy melts
Instructions:
1. Start by lining a baking sheet with wax paper for easy cleanup later on. Place the mini pretzels on the prepared baking sheet in rows, making sure they are not touching each other.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate candy melts according to the package instructions until smooth and creamy. Be sure to stir the chocolate frequently to prevent burning.
3. Using a spoon, carefully spoon a small amount of melted chocolate onto the center of each pretzel, spreading it slightly to cover the top surface.
4. Before the chocolate sets, gently press two candy eyes onto the melted chocolate to create the turkey’s eyes. Then, place a small round candy just below the eyes to form the turkey’s beak.
5. While the chocolate is still wet, break the small bag of yellow candy melts into pieces and place them in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the yellow candy melts in short intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
6. Using a toothpick or small piping bag, carefully create the turkey’s feet by drawing two small semi-circles at the bottom of each pretzel, extending slightly outward. These will resemble the turkey’s feet.
7. Once all the turkeys are decorated with eyes, beaks, and feet, allow them to set at room temperature until the chocolate is completely hardened.
8. Serve your delicious MM Turkeys at your next gathering, or pack them in festive bags as cute party favors. These treats are sure to be a hit with everyone!
