Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Before making the rice krispie mixture you want to prep the “bone”. In a microwave-safe bowl melt the white chocolate. You can also do this over a double boiler. Break the pretzel rod in half. Dip a mini marshmallow in the melted chocolate and press into the broken end of the pretzel stick on the edge. Repeat so that you have 2 mini marshmallows on the end of each pretzel rod. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (or wax paper). Repeat with the remaining pretzel rods. Chill in the fridge to harden.
  • Now make the marshmallow mixture. In a large pot over medium heat melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir to melt into the butter. When almost fully melted, mix in the peanut butter.
  • When the mixture is fully melted together and smooth, pour in the cereal and cocoa powder. Mix fully.
  • Now create the turkey drumsticks. Use cooking spray or oil to oil the hands to prevent sticking. Work quickly with ¾-1 cup of the mixture at a time, shape it into a drumstick shape while adding a prepped pretzel rod into the center. Place on a sheet to chill to room temperature. Repeat until you’ve used all of the mixture. Makes about 10-16.
  • Re-melt the white chocolate if it’s cooled too much. Take the cooled drumstick and dip the pretzel end of the rod into the chocolate. Place on a lined sheet to chill until the chocolate sets. Serve and enjoy!
