Ok, guys I have one more fun and easy treat to share with you before Thanksgiving.

Yes, I’m sure you have your turkey day menus already planned and ready to go, but I just couldn’t let this week go without one more fun turkey. Ok, maybe a few more because these chocolate fudge turkeys would be so cute on the table too!

Chocolate covered pretzels are one of my favorite treats to make for parties.  Sweet and salty is totally my jam.  I just can’t resist the mix of the salt with the chocolate.

Dip the pretzels in dark chocolate and covered them in bright fall colored sprinkles to mimic a turkey’s tail feathers.

While those are drying, you can add some googly eyes and a felt beak to a glass jar with a glue gun.  I also added an orange heart to the bottom of the jar for his feet.  That’s up to you though.

The jar is filled with chocolate covered raisins to hold the pretzels in place and to give the turkey a chocolate body.  We happen to love chocolate covered raisins around here, but feel free to use chocolate M&M’s or your favorite chocolate covered small candy.  It just needs to be a candy that you can push the pretzels into easily.

Easy, peasy and cutesy squeezey!  Your Thanksgiving day table totally needs one of these as a center piece.  And while you are at it, why not make a few of these Reese’s turkeys too.

    • I shake the pretzel to get the extra chocolate off, then put it on wax paper or parchment paper. The chocolate hardens pretty quickly so it doesn’t spread on the tray, unless you have a ton of extra chocolate on the pretzel rod!
