- 24 mini peanut butter cups
- 0.5 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips Can use large chocolate chips or chocolate bark

Instructions
- Unwrap peanut butter cups.
- Heat chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent burning.
- Transfer melted chocolate to a piping bag or plastic zipper bag and cut a small piece of the corner off to create a tip.
- Pipe some chocolate on top of the peanut butter cup then add the pretzel where you just added the chocolate. Flip the peanut butter cup over so the pretzel is on the back.
- Add dots of chocolate on the peanut butter cup to attach candy eyes, a nose, and a candy wattle.
- Add chocolate to the front of the pretzel and add three pieces of candy corn (with white tips cut off) to the pretzel to create the turkey feathers.
- Allow treats to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make ahead of time and store in an airtight container for up to a week. Store in the fridge if it's warm to prevent melting of the chocolate.
