Equipment
- 1 Microwave-safe bowl
- 1 Rubber spatula
- 1 Piping bag or tablespoon
- 2 Sheet pans
- 2 Parchment paper or wax paper sheets
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cups Chocolate chips, bittersweet
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 12 large Pretzel rods
- 24 small Googly eyes
- 92 pieces Candy corn (7 for each pretzel plus extra for turkey 'beak')
Instructions
- Prepare two sheet pans by lining with parchment or wax paper.
- Cut the yellow portion off of 6 candy corns. Cut in half lengthwise (this is for the turkeys' noses)
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil (or vegetable oil) in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each heating until smooth.
- Pipe or spoon dollops of melted chocolate on prepared sheet pans. Spread dollops to approximately 1½" circles (6 circles per sheet pan).
- Place 7 pieces of candy corn in a fan shape on top each chocolate circle - leaving room between candy corn to insert pretzel rods
- Dip the top third of each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate.
- Place pretzel rod in between the candy corn fan. Repeat for each pretzel.
- Add two googly eyes to each pretzel while the chocolate is still melted. Place the turkey noses you prepared early onto each pretzel rod.
- Allow chocolate to set at room temperature (approximately 1 hour) or place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Peel turkey pretzels off of parchment or wax paper and transfer to a serving dish.
