Melt some CANDIQUIK in the microwave and dip the graham cracker sticks until about ¾ coated.
Allow to set on some wax paper.
In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on high for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.
Add krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.
When the CANDIQUIK on the graham cracker sticks has cooled, spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray and mold the rice krispie mixture around the sticks - like the meat on a turkey leg, pressing some sprinkles gently onto the rice krispie mixture to secure.
Set the legs aside to set on wax paper for about 10-15 minutes. Store in a covered container to keep fresh.

Use High-Quality Marshmallows: Opt for fresh, high-quality marshmallows to ensure the best texture and flavor for your Turkey Leg Treats. Stale or low-quality marshmallows can result in a less desirable final product. Additionally, you can experiment with flavored marshmallows like vanilla or caramel for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
Enhance Presentation with Sprinkles: Sprinkles not only add a pop of color but also contribute to the visual appeal of your turkey leg treats. Consider using autumn-themed sprinkles, such as leaf-shaped or orange and brown sprinkles, to enhance the seasonal theme. Gently press the sprinkles onto the rice krispie mixture while it's still slightly tacky to ensure they adhere properly.
Adjust Coating Thickness: When dipping the Graham cracker sticks in the melted Candiquik, adjust the coating thickness based on personal preference. A thicker coating will result in a more prominent "turkey leg" appearance, while a thinner coating allows the rice krispie mixture to be more visible. Experiment with different coating thicknesses to achieve the desired visual effect and flavor balance.
