Instructions

Melt the chocolate
Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or jar. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. -
Prepare the “feathers”
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange 7 candy corns per turkey in a fan shape to create the feather crown. -
Dip the pretzels
Dip the top third of each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. -
Assemble the base
Place the chocolate-coated end of the pretzel onto the candy corn “feathers.” Adjust as needed so each candy corn sticks to the chocolate.
Use an extra candy corn underneath to support and keep the pretzel level. -
Set the chocolate
Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm up. -
Add the face
Use more melted chocolate to attach:-
Candy eyes
-
Orange candy (for the beak)
-
-
Final set
Return to the freezer for 5–10 minutes until fully set.

Notes
- Adding coconut oil helps create smooth, glossy chocolate that sets cleanly.
- Pre-arranging candy corn saves time and ensures consistent portions.
- If pieces shift, a quick freeze stabilizes everything.
- Don’t aim for perfection—the charm is in their quirky, handmade look.
