Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 35 min

Ingredients

• 6 pretzel rods
• 1 bag (12 oz) white candy melts (or 1 cup vanilla baking chips)
• 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows (set aside 24)
• 8 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
• 1/4 cup butter

Instructions

• 6 pretzel rods,1 bag (12 oz) white candy meltsBreak the pretzel rods in half and melt the candy according to package directions. (I usually do 15-30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring well each time.)
• 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallowsDip the smooth end of the pretzel rod and then press two marshmallows onto the end. Repeat until 12 “bones” are dipped. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
• Dip the pretzels again, covering 2/3 of the rod. Let sit.
• 8 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal,1/4 cup butter,1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallowsIn a saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in cereal. Mix until coated well.
• Allow to cool just a bit and then form the cereal mixture around each pretzel rod, forming a drumstick. Don’t try this until cooled enough, or it won’t hold its shape! Spray your hands with cooking spray to keep the marshmallow from sticking while you work. 
• Place on a wax paper lined baking sheet and let sit until fully cooled.
