July 6th is National Fried Chicken Day. I have a group of friends who are fried chicken lovers that like to make chicken on this day. I thought it would be fun to make a sweet treat version that looked like fried chicken. This is a fun and simple recipe for all ages. No baking necessary!
I used pink mini marshmallows because I had them on hand. You can use any colour as they get covered up anyway. :)
Total Time: 1 hour
Yield: 8 drumstick treats
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces white candy melts
- 4 large pretzel rods
- 6 ounces mini marshmallows
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 4 cups crisped rice cereal
- peanut butter
- bran flakes cereal
Steps:
- Melt the candy melts according to the directions on the bag.
- Break the pretzel rods in half and lay them on a piece of parchment paper on a tray.
- Dip one end of each pretzel into the melted candy.
- Press on two mini marshmallow at the end of each rod.
- Add a small blob of candy melt on top of the marshmallows, going up the pretzel rod, then allow to harden. This will give them a stronger bond.
- Now dip the pretzels back into the candy melt mixture, 3/4 of the way up.
- Lay them on the parchment paper and place in the fridge for about 5 minutes to harden up.
- Add butter to the remaining marshmallows in a large microwaveable bowl and melt in the microwave on high for a minute. Stir until smooth.
- Stir in the crisped rice cereal.
- Take a ball of the crispy rice mix and attach it to the end of the pretzel rod, cupping it with both hands tightly to create a chicken leg shape.
- Coat the rice with a thin layer of peanut butter.
- Press on the bran flakes. Serve it up!
