Ingredients
– 1 bag (10 ounces) chocolate chips or melting wafers for dipping the pretzels to create the base coating
– 12 large pretzel rods to form the turkey’s tail feathers and provide crunch
– A jar of fall-colored sprinkles for adding festive decoration on the dipped pretzels
– Small chocolate candies for filling the jar
– One 4 Β½ inch square orange felt used for cutting the heart shape as part of the turkey decoration
– One 1 inch square orange felt for creating the triangle beak in the assembly
– One 1 inch by 2 inch red felt to form the “j” shape as the wattle for the turkey face
– 23 mm googly eyes for adding eyes to the jar decoration
– One 6 inch round bowl for the base of the turkey assembly
Instructions
1-First, prepare all ingredients by melting the chocolate according to package instructions, either in a microwave or double boiler. This ensures a smooth coating for dipping. Next, dip each of the 12 large pretzel rods into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off to avoid messiness.
2-Place the dipped pretzels on a parchment-lined tray and top them with fall-colored sprinkles for a festive touch. Allow them to set while you move on to the decorations, cutting felt shapes from the provided pieces. After a few minutes, cut a heart from the 4 Β½ inch square orange felt, a triangle from the 1 inch square orange felt, and a “j” shape from the 1 inch by 2 inch red felt.
3-Second, assemble the turkey by hot gluing the felt heart to the bottom of the 6 inch round bowl. Then, decorate the front of the jar by gluing on the 23 mm googly eyes, the felt triangle as the beak, and the felt “j” shape as the wattle. Fill the jar with small chocolate candies like chocolate-covered coffee beans or nuts, and arrange the chocolate covered pretzels inside to resemble tail feathers.
