Edible Candy Cookie Turkey Food

OREO COOKIE TURKEYS

Steps:

• Place one Oreo cookie as the base. Put one teaspoon of chocolate frosting on top.
• Place one small peanut butter cup on it's side so that the top and bottom are perpendicular to the base -- and stuck in the frosting. Place a teaspoon of chocolate frosting on the top(widest part) of the p-butter cup.
• For the second cookie. Stick some candy corn into the Oreo 'stuff' along one edge for the feathers -- pointy side down. They should fan out around the edge. If you have trouble doing this, you can help them stick with some white frosting.
• Place this second Oreo cookie (the tail) on it's edge and sticking to a dab of brown frosting on the back of the peanut butter cup.
• Place a dab of chocolate frosting on top of the peanut butter up (for the head). Place a malted milk ball on top for the head.
• Take a small amount of the white frosting in a separate dish. Mix in red food coloring.
• Use a toothpick with the white and red colors to place eyes, and wattle. You can pinch off the small pointy top of a candy corn and dip it in brown frosting for the beak.
• Your turkey is complete!

OREO TURKEYS (THANKSGIVING SNACK)

Steps:

• Take 1 oreo apart. This will be the base.
• Place the whole oreo on its side on the base, so that it sticks to white of the oreo.
• In front of the oreo on its side, place a malted-milk ball for the turkeys head.
• Place candy corn, points down, in between the oreo cookie that is standing on it's side.
• Use icing for eyes and waddle if you want.

OREO TURKEY

Steps:

• Separate each cookie, leaving all the creme filling on one half of each. Set filling-topped halves aside.
• Use small amount of melted chocolate to attach 5 candy corn pieces, pointed-sides down, to each plain cookie half for the turkey's tail. Refrigerate 5 minutes or until chocolate is firm.
• Attach malted milk ball to center of each filling-topped cookie half with melted chocolate for the turkey's body. Use additional melted chocolate to attach cinnamon candies to bodies for the heads.
• Attach turkey tails to bodies with remaining melted chocolate. Refrigerate until firm.

NUTTER BUTTER TURKEYS

Steps:

• Draw a turkey on plain paper and make as many copies as desired. The body should be the outline of a Nutter Butter cookie.(A template appears in the photo section.) Lay a piece of wax paper over each template.
• Cut the Starburst candies into pointy triangles so they resemble a beak. Set aside.
• Add yellow candy melts to one of the decorating bottles. I lay the bottle on its side in the microwave. Microwave at 50% power for one minute. Press the bottle, mixing the candy and continue melting in 20-30 second intervals. Don't overcook the candy melts.
• Yellow: Fill in the body and first row of feathers with the melted yellow candy melts. Immediately press the lollipop stick into the body area. Add a little bit more yellow on top of the stick and press a Nutter Butter cookie on top. Do the same with the remaining turkeys.
• Orange: Melt the orange candy in bottle #2. Fill in the next row of feathers. Repeat with remaining turkeys.
• Red: Melt the red candy in bottle #3. Fill in the outer row of feathers. Repeat with remaining turkeys.
• Add the candy eyes. You can reheat the yellow candy melts or use a small amount of melted white chocolate chips. Put a dab on the back of the edible eyes and attach to the turkey body.
• Add the beak. Put a dab of melted candy on the back of the beak and attach right below the eyes.
• Snood: It's that red thing that dangles on the turkey's face. You may need to remelt the red candy. Pipe a squiggly red snood onto the turkey face.
• Allow turkeys to harden. Enjoy!

EDIBLE CANDY COOKIE TURKEY

Steps:

• Take a Reeses Peanut butter cups and use about a dime sized dollop of icing to "glue" it to a chocolate wafer - make sure it's centered. Set aside.
• Take 8 Nutter Butter cookies and on the top center of one of the cookies make a stripe of icing. Affix two chocolate chips as "eyes," a yellow or white "nose" and a red "mouth." Set aside to dry.
• Take Reeses/Wafers that you started with and around the edge where the Reeses cup meets the wafer, make a half circle of icing. Along that half circle, evenly space 5 candy corns, with the wide part of the candy corn facing outward. Let set for 5 minutes.
• While the Reese/wafers are on the table laying flat, put a dollop of icing on the center of the Reeses cups and then take the Nutter Butters and glue them onto the Reeses. DO NOT LET SET.
• Immediately, take a new chocolate wafer and lay it on the table. Put a large round dollop of icing in the center. Take the Reese, nutter/butter "body" of the turkey and place it on top of the icing. You might need to slide the Nutterbutter/reeses to get the right balance to make it stand up. Usually it stands up pretty easily.
• Stick two orange "feet" at the base of the nutter butter.
