Thanksgiving Treats and Snacks Part Two

We're back with part two of our Thanksgiving Treats and Snacks series. We really did have a great time creating these amazing works of art. 

Today we are making Thanksgiving Pretzel Rods. We scrolled through Pinterest looking for yummy treats, and came across a number of different pretzel options. We narrowed the selection down to three treats that we thought would be easy and fun for kids to create and enjoy.

The first is what we're calling the, Turkey Pretzel, with an Oreo cookie backing, candy corn, candy eyes, and chocolate. Tip: let the chocolate cool and harden with the cookie attached. Then add a fresh covering of chocolate when adding the decorative pieces.

Thanksgiving Turkey Pretzels

The first is what we're calling the, Turkey Pretzel, with an Oreo cookie backing, candy corn, candy eyes, and chocolate. Tip: let the chocolate cool and harden with the cookie attached. Then add a fresh covering of chocolate when adding the decorative pieces. In the video you'll see that we had a bit of a challenge because we rushed through and didn't give the pretzels ample time to cool and harden. Nonetheless, the still looked great and tasted delicious!

Tied-Dyed Thanksgiving Pretzels

The second we've named the Tied-Dyed Thanksgiving Pretzels. So these pretzels were supposed to be a little more defined with the chocolate drizzle. But again, we rushed the process a bit because of the video, and didn't let the chocolate cool and harden properly. Tip: So take the time to let the chocolate cooler before to drizzle the colors. However, we did like how the drizzle ran together with the brown chocolate making a really fun tied-dyed affect.

Thanksgiving Sprinkle Pretzels

Our third Thanksgiving pretzel we're calling the Thanksgiving Sprinkle Pretzel. Dipped or covered in melting chocolate, this might be the easiest pretzel to make. Once covered in chocolate, drop sprinkles onto the chocolate. Tip: For this pretzel, you don't want the chocolate to harden too quickly as you need the chocolate warm so the sprinkles stick. But do be careful to not apply too much chocolate as it will like run or drip off.

All three pretzels are easy to make. It can be a bit messy, and you do have to be careful working with hot, melting chocolate. Aside from that, we think you'll have a lot of fun creating with your kiddos!
