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

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for assembling the treats.

Step 2

Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3

Dip the top of each chocolate sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

While the chocolate is still wet, attach 4 mini pretzel twists to the back of each cookie to resemble a turkey's tail feathers.

Step 5

Press 5 pieces of candy corn (pointed side down) into the chocolate above the pretzels to create colorful feather accents.

Step 6

Attach 2 candy eyes to the front of each cookie using a small dab of melted chocolate as glue.

Step 7

Add a candy-coated chocolate drop below the candy eyes to form the beak.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Using a toothpick or piping bag, add a small red wattle under each candy-coated chocolate drop on the cookie.

Step 10

Let the Pretzel Tailed Turkey Treats sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate sets and holds the components together.

Step 11

Once set, carefully transfer the treats to a serving platter and enjoy!
