What about the desserts…what do you usually make Pumpkin Pie Bars? Pecan Pie Bars? Dutch Apple Crisp Bars? (are you seeing a theme? 😂)

And of course, there’s always Pumpkin Cobbler, Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Bites, or Turtle Cheesecake Bites.

Plus, don’t forget the homemade whipped cream!

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Turkeys Variation Ideas

Sometimes you can’t find certain ingredients or you just want to change things up, right? Here are some ideas of ways to change up these chocolate-covered strawberry turkeys.

• Vanilla Tootsie Rolls – melt them and wrap them around the ends to create the leg caps.

• Caramel – love caramel? Melt caramel candies and dip your strawberry turkeys into caramel instead of chocolate.

• Marshmallows – you could use marshmallows in place of the icing, if you wanted to for a delicious twist!

• White Chocolate – if you want a delicious twist with artistic license, use white chocolate instead of regular chocolate. Or use the white chocolate instead of the icing to glue on the pretzels.
