Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys
  1. Start by washing your fresh strawberries gently under cold water. Pat them dry completely with a clean towel.
  2. Take your mini marshmallows and insert a pretzel stick into one side of each marshmallow to create the drumsticks.
  3. Melt your chocolate or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments until smooth and glossy.
  4. Dip each strawberry (drumstick attached) fully into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
  5. Melt your white chocolate in a separate bowl, then dip just the tips of the pretzel legs into the white chocolate.
  6. Arrange your Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys on a platter for serving or package them as gifts.
