Inspired by TikToker @_ellagrace12, this clever idea transforms fresh strawberries into miniature chocolate “turkeys.” It’s the perfect mix of fun, festive, and irresistibly tasty — ideal for kids and adults alike!
What You’ll Need
- Fresh strawberries (these form the “body” of the turkeys)
- Mini marshmallows
- Pretzel sticks
- Melted chocolate (for dipping and assembly)
- Skewers or parchment paper for drying
How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys
- Prepare the Turkey Legs:
Take two mini marshmallows and insert a pretzel stick through each until it reaches the middle. These will be your turkey “drumsticks.” - Attach the Legs:
Use a little melted chocolate to stick the marshmallow pretzel “legs” to either side of each strawberry. - Dip in Chocolate:
Carefully dip each strawberry—legs and all—into melted chocolate until fully coated. - Let Them Set:
Place the coated strawberries on a skewer or parchment paper and let them dry until the chocolate hardens into a glossy shell.
Once set, your Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys are ready to serve! Arrange them on a white platter for a fun, festive touch that will make everyone at your Thanksgiving table do a double take before digging in.
Sweet, creative, and irresistibly cute — these turkey treats are the perfect way to end your holiday feast with a smile. 🦃🍫🍓
