Thanksgiving pretzels are a fun and festive treat to make with kids. Here are five ways to decorate pretzel rods into adorable Thanksgiving treats.

If you’re looking for more Thanksgiving ideas for kids, check out our Turkey OREO Balls, Rolo Turkey Pretzels, and Pinecone Turkeys.

Thanksgiving week is always filled with fun family time, especially with the kids home from school for the week. Every year we try to come up with easy treats to make together and prepare ahead for our Thanksgiving gathering. These Thanksgiving pretzels are tasty, an adorable treat for kids, and can be made several days ahead.

In this post, I’ll share five easy decorating ideas for pretzel rods, including Turkey Pretzels, autumn sprinkles, Reese’s Pieces, pumpkin spice-flavored pretzels, and chocolate pecan pretzels.

5 easy Thanksgiving pretzel decorating ideas

Turkey Pretzel Rods

  • Pretzel rods
  • Melting Chocolate
  • Cookie
  • Candy corn
  • Candy eyes
  • Mini M&M candy
  • Red icing or melting wafers

Dip a thin cookie into melted chocolate, then place the cookie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Tip: remove the filling from Oreo cookies and use one-half for each pretzel or thin chocolate wafer cookie. Press candy corn around the edges of the cookie. Then add a chocolate-dipped pretzel rod in the center. Quickly add the candy eyes and an orange M&M. Pipe melted red chocolate wafers or red icing for the wattle on the turkey.

Reese’s Pieces Pretzels

  • Pretzel Rods
  • Melting chocolate
  • Reese’s Pieces candy

There is something so festive about Reese’s Pieces in autumn. The candy colors match perfectly with falling leaves and make for a great fall treat. We added regular-size Reese’s Pieces on the chocolate pretzels, but mini Reese’s Pieces would work well. Cover the pretzel rod in chocolate and press Reese’s Pieces candy on top.

Pumpkin Spice Pretzels

  • Pretzel Rods
  • Melting Chocolate
  • Pumpkin spice chips

Is it even a fall dessert if there isn’t pumpkin spice involved? Pumpkin fans will enjoy the drizzle of melted pumpkin spice baking chips paired with the chocolate-dipped pretzels. To make this easy treat, dip the pretzels in chocolate, then let the chocolate harden. Melt pumpkin spice chips, then use a piping bag to drizzle over the pretzels.

Pecan Pretzels

  • Pretzel rods
  • Melting chocolate
  • Pecan bits

Pecan bits add crunch and a tasty flavor to chocolate-covered pretzels. Chop pecans into small pieces to sprinkle over the melted chocolate-dipped pretzels.
