What is Needed for Thanksgiving Turkey Leg Candy?
The ingredient list for these Thanksgiving Turkey Leg Candy is only four. You may have to search a little bit for the marzipan, but I have given you a link above to find it from Amazon too.
You can use dark or milk chocolate candy melts, whichever you prefer. The candy melts do harden a bit better than chocolate chips, but you can use those also.
You can get the kind of pretzels that are packed in a jar or come in a bag. Alternatively, the jar does let you see what they look like and if they are right for your project.
Ingredients
24 Braided Pretzel Twists (there’s plenty in a 12oz package)
¼ C. marzipan
14oz donut holes (approx 28 ct, the measurements for the recipe will make about 24 treats)
12oz chocolate candy melts
How To Make Turkey Leg Candy
These cute chocolate-covered turkey legs are simple to make and fun to do with family and friends!
Add about ½ tsp size ball of marzipan to the end of one pretzel twist forming it to resemble the end of a bone.
Using a small knife, pierce each donut hole creating an “X.”
Take the end of the pretzel without the marzipan and poke into the donut hole where you created the “X.”
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your chocolate candy melts in 10-sec intervals for a total of 1 min or 6 times. After each 10 second interval, remove the bowl and stir to allow for even melting and to avoid burning your chocolate.
- Holding the pretzel in one hand, spoon the melted chocolate over the donut hole until you’ve completely covered it. Place on a silicon mat or parchment paper until the chocolate has cooled.
I hope you enjoy this fun treat for the holidays!!
