Thanksgiving Turkey Truffles


Gah - I love cute holiday themed desserts!  I saw an idea for these cute turkey truffles and I just knew I needed to make my own version!


I have several recipes for truffles, but I love the look of brigadeiros for this recipe, since the chocolate sprinkles resemble turkey feathers!




Turkey Truffles


1 recipe brigadeiros

Pretzel sticks, broken

Small pretzel twists

Semi sweet chocolate, melted

Candy eyes

M&Ms, cut in half



Lay pretzel sticks onto a tray lined with waxed paper or a silicone mat.  Pipe circles of melted chocolate onto one end of each pretzels stick.  While the chocolate is wet, add candy eyes and a half M&M.  Place in the refrigerator to set.


Make the brigadeiros according to recipe instructions, rolling in chocolate sprinkles.


Once set, place a turkey face pretzel stick in each truffle.  Then, dip a pretzel twist in melted chocolate and stick to the back of each truffle as a tail feather.
