TURKEY LEG TREATS

I found this idea on pinterest as well. It is also an easy one to make.  The most challenging part in this is molding the rice krispie around the pretzel.

Ingredients: 
6 pretzel rods
1 bag white candy melts
1 bag mini marshmellows (set aside 24)
8 cups Cocoa Krispies cerel
1/4 cup butter

Directions:
1.Break the pretzel rods in half and melt the candy according to package directions. (I usually do 15-30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring well each time.)
2.Dip the smooth end of the pretzel rod and then press two marshmallows onto the end. Repeat until 12 "bones" are dipped. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
                                   
3. Dip the pretzels again, covering 2/3 of the rod. Let sit. 
                                   

4.In a saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in cereal. Mix until coated well.
5. Allow to cool just a bit and then form the cereal mixture around each pretzel rod, forming a drumstick. Don't try this until cooled enough, or it won't hold its shape! Spray your hands with cooking spray to keep the marshmallow from sticking while you work.
                                             
6. Place on wax paper lined baking sheet and lit sit until it cools completely


I used some pictures from the site I got the idea from so I will give credit here:
