Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 12 large strawberries: Fresh strawberries are key for this recipe.
• 24 mini marshmallows: These will be used for the turkey’s legs.
• 24 gluten-free pretzel sticks: Break off about 1/4th of the top of each stick.
• 12 ounces dark chocolate chips: Feel free to use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer.
• 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips: These are optional but add a nice touch to the turkey’s feet.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the strawberries: Rinse and pat the strawberries dry. Stick a popsicle stick or bamboo stick into the top of each strawberry.
2. Make the legs: Break off a small portion of each pretzel stick and dip the side of a marshmallow into melted chocolate. Press the marshmallow onto each side of the strawberry to create the legs. Repeat for all strawberries and place them in the fridge to set.
3. Dip the strawberries: Once the legs are set, dip the strawberries into melted chocolate and shake off any excess. Place them on parchment paper to harden.
4. Add the finishing touches: Melt the white chocolate and dip the tips of the pretzel legs into it. Let the chocolate harden again in the fridge.

Tips and FAQs:

• Storage: These turkeys can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. They taste best within the first 1-3 days.
• Frozen strawberries: While fresh strawberries are recommended, you can use frozen ones if necessary. However, the consistency might be slightly different.
• Chocolate options: Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or even white chocolate.
• Don’t skip the chilling steps: Chilling the strawberries after adding the legs and dipping them in chocolate helps the chocolate harden and prevents the turkeys from falling apart.
