DIRECTIONS

Hats:

Melt the chocolate chips, spread some on the on the widest part of a peanut butter cup, and attach it to the center of the back of the fudge stripe cookie.

Using the yellow frosting, pipe a buckle on the hat.

Using the white frosting, pipe a band around the hat. Make the band as wide or narrow as you like.


Turkeys:

Cut off the white part of the candy corn. This will be the turkey beak.

Separate some Oreos to use as a base for your turkeys.

Dip the edge of an unseparated Oreo into the melted chocolate and attach it to the edge of the base.

Place it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Spread some chocolate on the widest part and on one side of a peanut butter cup and attach it to the base and back cookies.

Spread some chocolate on the top of the peanut butter cup and the back cookie and attach a malted milk ball.

Return it to the refrigerator for another 10 minutes.

Put a little chocolate on the candy corn beak and attach it to the malted milk ball. Hold it for a few seconds until the chocolate starts to set.

Insert some candy corn between the two halves of the back cookie to serve as tailfeathers. Be careful not to insert them so far that the cookie halves separate or break.

Combine some yellow and red icing to make orange, then pipe it onto the base to give your turkey some feet.

Use some red icing to create the wattle (also known as a dewlap).

Put a little chocolate on the back of the eyes and attach them to the malted milk ball. Hold them for a few seconds until the chocolate starts to set.
