Adorable Candy Pretzel Turkey Bites

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Have you planned your meal and trimmings? If you need a tasty Thanksgiving treat that’s super easy to make – try these Candy Pretzel Turkey Bites! The salty, sweet combo is amazing and since they’re so adorable, no one is going to be able to pass them up! Plus, they’re easier than pumpkin pie!

Personally, I like Thanksgiving to be as easy as possible!

Candy corn has been dear to my heart since I was teeny tiny. The story goes that I was potty trained with these little delicious candies. Perhaps that’s why I love them year after year. I fill a jar before Halloween and have it on the counter for as long as I can!

It’s kinda funny that we find this candy so good! The three colors of the candy – a broad yellow end, a tapered orange center, and a pointed white tip – mimic the appearance of kernels of corn. Corn! Well, we do…even if it was originally called chicken feed! Americans and Canadians consume about 20 millions pounds a year. Whoa!

Candy Corn works for these Pumpkin Pie Turkeys too!
