Thanksgiving Table Idea 3: Rice Krispy Turkey Legs

The third recipe in my series of Thanksgiving table ideas to try this Thanksgiving features a fun project to do with the kids and to eat!



Rice Krispy Turkey Legs


Ingredients:
  • 8 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 6 Pretzel Rods
  • 1 Bag White Candy Melts
  • 1 10 oz. bag Mini Marshmallows (reserving 24)
  • 1/4 cup Butter

Instructions:
  1. Break your pretzel rods in half and melt your white chocolate according to the directions.
  2. Dip the ends of the pretzel rods into the chocolate just at the tip.
  3. Press on two mini marshmallows.
  4. Let that set for about 5 minutes.
  5. Dip the pretzels back into the chocolate covering almost to the other end.
  6. Melt the remaining marshmallows and butter in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir until combined and smooth. Now add in your Rice Krispies cereal and mix until combined.
  7. Grab a hand full of your Rice cereal treat mix and shape it into a ball. You can use gloves, butter, or spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent any sticking. Press the end of the pretzel into the ball and shape it to look like a turkey leg.
