Turkey Rice Krispie Treats

This last Monday we made some Turkey Rice Krispie Treats. It was a lot of fun! The girls really enjoyed it! So here is the recipe:

Turkey Rice Krispie Treats


3 tablespoons margarine, or butter
1 package (10 oz, about 40 marshmallows ) or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
candy corn, red hot candies, pretzels, peanut butter

1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt margarine and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir mixture until smooth.

2. Add Cocoa Krispies cereal, stirring until well coated. Using a buttered spatula or waxed paper, spread cereal mixture into a shallow 13 X 9 X 2 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. When slightly cooled, shape cereal mixture into body and head shape using buttered hands. Place on waxed paper or a surface coated with cooking spray. Allow to cool.

3. Spread peanut butter over turkey body and sprinkle with Cocoa Krispies cereal. Decorate with red hot candies and miniature marshmallows for eyes and candy corn for beak. Break off sides of twisted pretzels and insert into body for tail feathers. Insert pretzel rods for legs.
Yield: 4-6 turkeys. Store no more than two days in airtight container
Here are some pictures of our finished product, and our family. Ours didn't turn out as cute as the Recipe picture, oh well. I still think they turned out super cute, and they were super duper yummy!!!
