We wanted to share a quick and easy Thanksgiving themed edible centerpiece, treat, appetizer, table decor and snack with you!
It is so ridiculously easy that you can pull it together in a few minutes and with a few supplies. Your last minute snack/treat/themed eat solution!
Who doesn’t love salty and chocolately together? So not only will it be super easy, but it will be a hit too!
Here’s how to make it!
Supplies & Ingredients for Chocolate Dipped Turkey Pretzel Rods in a Jar Treat Idea:
- Pretzel rods
- Dark cocoa candy melts
- Fall sprinkles
- Mason jar
- Large googly eyes
- Red felt
- Orange felt
- Hot glue
- Parchment paper
- Brown candy to fill jar with (I used Hershey Drops, but brown M&M’s or chocolate covered raisins would work as well!)
Instructions:
- Melt the candy melts according to package instructions. When I am covering pretzels I like to melt my candy melts in a cup making it easy to dunk the rods into.
- Prep your counter while the candy is melting. Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter. Pour a pile of sprinkles for rolling your dipped pretzels in.
- Once the candy is melted, cover the end of your pretzel rod in chocolate!
- Working quickly, roll your pretzel rod in the fall sprinkles.
- Place the rod on the parchment paper to harden.
- Fill your mason jar with brown candy.
- Cut out an orange triangle (beak) and a red wavy shape (wattle).
- Hot glue eyes, beak and wattle to the jar.
- Once the pretzel rods have hardened, push them into the candy in the jar.
That’s it! Then you have a great, edible table decor or centerpiece!
