Last year we did Pine Cone turkeys. They looked great and provided great roughage, but hard to chew.
These will no doubt be easier!
You need:
Double Stuf Oreos
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures
Candy corn (I grabbed mine half-price yesterday at Wal-Mart)
Malted Milk balls (Whoppers)
Frosting for glue (simple recipe follows!!!)
Remove top from one Oreo. "Glue" candy corns into place with a smidge of frosting. I use a frosting bag with a small round tip, but you can dot with a sharp, pointy knife, too)
FROSTING: Pour a couple of cups of powdered sugar into bowl. Add only enough water to make thick paste. You want thick, glue-like consistency, not sugar-cookie soft. Okay? It hardens as it dries.
Replace cookie top with smidge of frosting to 'glue' in place.
Glue that cookie (the one with candy corn feathers) to a cookie flat on the table. Leave to dry, propped against a wall or something so it stands up until the frosting dries enough to make it secure.
Flatten (I slice a thin piece off and eat it. Yes. I'm am that willing to take one for the team!!!) the wider edge of the peanut butter cup, add a dot or two of frosting, and glue it to the upright cookie. This is the belly. (Ho ho ho!!!)
Glue a Whopper above the peanut butter cup. This is the head.
Now dot two eyes onto the Whopper. And a tiny beak.
You can add two candy corn "wings" by gluing them slanty-upside-down alongside the peanut butter cup. And two candy corn "tips" make great feet.
And there.
Done!
Oreo Turkeys. How stinkin' cute is that?
