1-Prep your ingredients: Prep your ingredients: Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly – any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and cut your pretzel sticks in half.
2-Make the drumsticks: Make the drumsticks: Insert one end of a pretzel stick halfway into the flat side of a mini marshmallow. Repeat until you have two drumsticks per strawberry.
3-Attach to the strawberry: Attach to the strawberry: Melt a small amount of chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments until smooth. Dip the marshmallow side of each pretzel into the melted chocolate and gently press it onto the upper side of the strawberry near the green stem. Repeat on the opposite side to create two legs.
4-Let them harden: Let them harden: Prop or lay the strawberries carefully on parchment paper and let the chocolate set completely (about 10-15 minutes).
5-Dip the strawberries: Dip the strawberries: Melt the remaining chocolate (adding coconut oil if using) until smooth and glossy. Holding the strawberry by its stem or a popsicle stick, dip the entire strawberry – legs and all – into the chocolate. Let excess drip off and place on parchment paper to set.
6-Add the white chocolate detail: Add the white chocolate detail: Once the turkeys have set, melt white chocolate and dip just the tips of the pretzel ends to create the look of turkey bones.
7-Chill and serve: Chill and serve: Place the finished turkeys in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to harden completely. Serve on a platter or package individually as the cutest Thanksgiving treat!
