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!

Easy Pretzel Rollo Turkeys

With a few simple ingredients, you can whip these little gobblers up in no time. These are an easy Thanksgiving dessert kids can help with.

First, preheat oven to 300 and line a baking pan with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.

Place pretzels with the salted side down with the double rounded end pointed toward you.

Now, unwrap your Rolo candies and place them in the center towards the top of the pretzel.

Place them in the oven until the chocolate softens but isn’t totally melted, about 1 minute.

Beginning decorating by placing the candy eyeballs towards the middle, slightly towards the top, of the Rolos candy. Take a Reese’s Pieces and turn it sideways and insert it below the eyes. Finally take three pieces of candy corn and insert them along the top of the Rolos for the feathers.

Finally, place your little turkeys in the freezer to solidify for 5 – 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
