There is enough marshmallow to give you that chew and enough cereal to give you the crunch, but the chocolate and peanut butter really bring the goodness. They taste absolutely fabulous.
Turning Rice Krispie Treats into Turkeys Perfect for Thanksgiving
As if that wasn’t enough, the resulting pieces of crispy treat are dunked into melted milk chocolate. You could go full immersion, but I opted to just dip the top.
I used a high quality great tasting compound chocolate. That way I didn’t have to worry so much about hitting the exact right temperatures.
If you are using bar chocolate, you’ll want to temper it before you coat your bars to get a glossy finish. No matter which method you use to coat them, they are bound to be delicious.
Once you take each dipped cereal bar out of the chocolate, you’ll want to decorate it. I used colorful chocolate coated sunflower seeds for the tail feathers.
Then a few small candy eyeballs for the eyes. A yellow and red candy coated sunflower seeds finished his face as his beak and gobbler.
