Provided by KELLOGGSreg RICE KR

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 6 treats, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
1 (10 ounce) package marshmallows, about 40 or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups COCOA KRISPIES® cereal
creamy peanut butter
COCOA KRISPIES® cereal
pretzel twists
pretzel stick
canned frosting or decorating gel
assorted candy

Steps:

  • Spread peanut butter on bottom of the smaller circular pieces; attach this to a larger circular piece to form the turkey body. Insert pretzel twists into body for tail feathers. Insert pretzel sticks for legs. Use frosting to attach candies for eyes and beak. Best if served the same day.
  • MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.
  • NOTES.
  • For best results, use fresh marshmallows.
  • 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows.
  • Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.
  • Store no more than two days at room temperature in airtight container. To freeze, place in single layer on wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the pretzels hold their shape and give them a crispy crust.
  • Use a baking soda bath to give the pretzels their signature chewy texture. Simply dissolve 1/2 cup of baking soda in 8 cups of water and dip the pretzels in the solution for 30 seconds before baking.
  • Sprinkle the pretzels with salt before baking. This will give them a savory flavor and help them brown.
  • Bake the pretzels until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy crust.
  • Enjoy the pretzels warm or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or served with your favorite dipping sauce.
