http://thehungryhousewife.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-10-02T20%3A37%3A00-04%3A00&max-results=7 I could not wait to make these. We all had fun making the turkeys today, they were a hit. Thank you Leslie for posting this cute idea.
For 1 turkey you will need:
2 DOUBLE stuff Oreos( used regular and had to use a bit more frosting for the corns to stick)
7 Candy Corns( I used 6 5 for the feathers and one corn for the tail feather)
1 malted Milk Ball( I used a chocolate covered caramel ball)
1 Reese's Cup( I used the mini size)
Chocolate Frosting(the premade kind in the tub)
White, red, orange and black decorating frosting(I used a squeezable yellow i had already)
Place one Oreo down.Place a dab of chocolate frosting on the top and lay second Oreo sideways. Put a dab of frosting on the Reese's cup and glue on his belly. Next glue on the turkeys head( the ball). Place 2 dots of frosting on the head for the turkey's eyes( for eyes i used mini chocolate chips, hard to see with the chocolate frosting. Stick the candy corns in between the top cookie for the turkeys feathers. Glue on the back feather. You can now add the turkeys feet, licorice for his "gobbler", beak and any additional touches.
