Ingredients
12oz.Chocolate Almond Bark
6oz.Almond Bark
8Large Strawberries
16Pretzel Sticks
8Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
Rinse and pat your Strawberries dry and set aside.
Break about 1/4th of the top of the pretzel sticks off…you will use the piece that is about 3/4″ length because otherwise, the pretzel sticks are too long.
Cut your mini marshmallows diagonally. There will be two insides of the marshmallows that are sticky.
Stick the cut side of the marshmallow to the top pretzel stick (make sure you use the broken end to adhere the marshmallow to so that when the feet stick out they are rounded and not jagged).
Place your almond bark into a deep, microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir and continue heating for 15 seconds each time, stirring in between until your chocolate is fully melted.
Dip the top of the pretzel stick with the marshmallow lightly into the melted chocolate bark.
Stick the pretzel/marshmallow leg to the right side of your strawberry and hold it there for about 30 second until it adheres. Repeat with the left side!
Place your strawberry with legs attached on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper, then repeat the process with all your strawberries. (each will cook and harden as you continue to work).
Once the strawberry turkey legs are set, poke a fork into the top of the strawberry then dip the whole strawberry, up to the stem in chocolate, shake off excess and place back on parchment paper. **It’s helpful to thin out the chocolate with oil, then you will be less likely to lose a leg!
Repeat this for all your strawberry turkeys, then place your baking sheet into the fridge for 10 minutes to harden the chocolate.
