Instructions
Making Bone
- In a small bowl, melt white chocolate melts.
- Dip Scooby Snacks into white chocolate melts, covering them about 3/4 of the way, and place them on wax paper to dry.
- These will serve as the bone portion of your turkey leg.
Rice Krispies Portions
- Melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a large pot on the lowest heat setting.
- Gradually stir in 5 ½ cups marshmallows, constantly stirring to prevent the butter from burning. This ensures a smooth, pliable mixture.
- Pour six cups of cereal into a large mixing bowl
- Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies (or chocolate Rice Krispies / chocolate Fruity Pebbles).
- Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow until fully coated.
Shape the Turkey Leg
- Spray your hands lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Scoop out a small amount of the Rice Krispies mixture and wrap it around the top half of the Scooby Snack. leaving the white chocolate tip untouched.
- Use a measuring sprayed with cooking spray cup to scoop the Rice Krispies mixture and mold them around the white chocolate “bones.”
- Make sure to cover at least halfway down the Scooby Snack so the turkey leg isn’t top-heavy.
Let the Set
- Allow the Rice Krispies turkey legs to cool and harden for 20–30 minutes.
