Turkey Leg Rice Krispies

What’s better than scoring a turkey leg at the holiday dinner table? Answer: snagging one of these gooey marshmallow and chocolate treats. One of the great things about Rice Krispies treats is that they can easily be molded and cut into all sorts of fun shapes. Trust me, I know. Once, I literally built an entire city out of Rice Krispies on the Food Network. While that’s not something I’d recommend adding to your holiday to-do list, these mock turkey legs are simple enough to add to your party plans. Plus, they’ll keep even the vegetarians around your table happy.

For the white coating on the pretzels, we’ve opted to use white candy melts. Candy melts look and taste similar to white chocolate, but they don’t melt as easily on your hands and don’t require tempering (a multi-step process of melting and cooling chocolate so that fat molecules crystallize evenly and look smooth and shiny). You can of course use white chocolate instead, but the finished coating may look a bit different.

They keep for up to 2 days when fully completed and the unglazed legs can easily be made up to 2 days in advance.
