Ingredients
  • 6 Rice Krispies Treats, store-bought or homemade
  • 16 ounces melted and tempered pure milk chocolate or melted light Cocoa Candy Melts
  • 2 ounces white modeling chocolate
  • 1 ounce each of orange, black, and red modeling chocolate
Instructions
  1. Dip the tip of your straw, lollipop stick, or craft stick in melted chocolate.
  2. Push it into one end of the Rice Krispie Treat.
  3. Allow that chocolate to dry.
  4. Dip the cereal treat into the melted chocolate then remove and allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
  5. Set the chocolate-dipped treat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. If using pure milk chocolate, refrigerate for 5-10 minutes until set. If using light cocoa candy melts, freeze for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Allow the chocolate-dipped cereal treats to come to room temperature before decorating.
  8. Using a fondant roller, roll all the colors of modeling chocolate out to about 1/16th of an inch.
  9. Pinch off 6 tiny pieces of red and roll them into teardrops, then shape each into the Turkeys' wattles.
  10. Use a small round plunger cutter or the tip of a #4 pastry tip to make the black pupils.
  11. Cut two different sized circles out of the white for each turkey.
  12. Very lightly brush the backsides of the black pupils with water and attach them to the white eyes.
  13. Also, use water to attach the facial features to the chocolate dipped rice cereal treat bars.
