Oreo Turkeys
Here is what you will need:
◾Double Stuff Oreo Cookies
◾Candy Corn
◾Whoppers
◾Peanut butter cups
◾Chocolate frosting
◾Yellow Frosting
◾Optional: Red frosting
◾Optional: black sprinkles for eyes
Steps to make your Turkey:
1) Grab a cookie and put a tiny bit of frosting inside, this will help hold the
candy corn a bit better!
2) Insert your candy corn. It seems that 5 candy corns, smaller tips inserted
into the cream center works best.
3) Put a dab of frosting on the opposite end of the cookie from where you just
inserted the candy corn, and then secure the cookie to the “base” cookie.
Placing the cookies against the wall while they dry may help them keep their
shape better!
4) While your cookies are drying open a peanut butter cup (have a parent do
this part kids!) – and cut a sliver off of one end.
5) Once your cups are ready, flip your cookies over, but still keep them next
to the wall in case the frosting is not completely dry yet. Place a dab of
frosting on peanut butter cup and place it on the cookie as shown below.
6) For the heads you will put a dab of frosting on a whopper and attach it to
the top of the peanut butter cup.
7) Use a dab of frosting and flue on a white tip of a candy corn for a beak,
put 2 yellow dots for eyes and if you would like a smaller black dot for the
center of the eye. (You can use frosting, a sprinkle, a mini chocolate chip for
the black part of the eye).
Once the beak stays put and everything seems to be sturdy, you can stand these
cute little guys up and draw on some little feet if you would like. You can
even add a little thingie under the neck!
To be extra creative and use them as place card holders, create your place
card, adhere it to a toothpick and you can insert that into the center of the
cookie!
