Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries
- Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate, or white chocolate)
- Candy eyes
- Pretzel sticks
- Mini peanut butter cups
- Orange candy melts
- Mini candy corn
- Optional sprinkles
Instructions
- Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly to ensure they are completely dry.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the berry. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it on the parchment paper.
- Unwrap the mini peanut butter cups and attach them to the dipped strawberries using a small dab of melted chocolate as ‘glue’.
- Break pretzel sticks into small pieces and insert them into the sides of the peanut butter cup to create the turkey’s legs.
- Melt the orange candy melts and pipe small beaks and feet onto the turkeys using a toothpick or piping bag for precision.
- Attach candy eyes to the strawberries using melted chocolate.
- Use mini candy corn pieces to create the turkey’s tail feathers, sticking them into the back of the strawberry with melted chocolate.
- Let the turkeys set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing. Work in small batches to keep the chocolate smooth and easy to work with. Allow each layer of chocolate or candy to set before adding the next detail.
