Pinterest's Success or Flop: Rice Krispies Turkey Leg Treat

Delight your family and friends this Thanksgiving with two adorable and delicious desserts - Rice Krispies Turkey Legs and a Caramel Apple Dump Cake.

To create the Rice Krispies Turkey Legs, you'll need 8 cups of crisped rice cereal, 6 pretzel rods, white candy melts, a 10 oz. bag of mini-marshmallows, 1/4 cup butter, a baking sheet with parchment paper, and some non-stick spray for your hands.

First, break the pretzel rods in half. Melt the marshmallows and butter together in a large microwave-safe bowl, stirring until they are fully mixed. Next, add the crisped rice cereal to the bowl and mix until it is completely coated. Let the cereal mixture sit for a few minutes before shaping it into individual balls.

Spraying your hands with non-stick spray can help prevent the cereal mixture from sticking to your hands. Press one ball into the uncoated side of a pretzel rod to form a turkey leg shape. Dip the tip of the pretzel into the melted white chocolate and place it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet to set for 5 minutes.

Dip the remaining pretzel half into the white chocolate coating, nearly covering the entire pretzel half. Place two marshmallows onto the end of the white chocolate dipped pretzel to resemble the turkey's feet. A drizzle of melted white chocolate can be added to help the pretzel rod "glue" to the cereal ball if it wants to come off.

These Rice Krispies Turkey Legs are not only creative and festive but also funny and delicious. They make a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving dessert table, either as a centerpiece or as individual treats.
