Fun activity for making treats or dessert on Thanksgiving.
Ingredients
  • 24 Double Stuff Oreo Cookies
  • 12 Whoppers
  • 1 bag Candy Corns
  • 1 bag Chocolate Candy Melts
  • Black icing (in tube)
  • Red icing (in tube)
Instructions
  1. Separate 12 chocolate cookies from the stuffing and cookie. Set aside the side of the cookie with no frosting or stuffing.
  2. Take two plastic Ziplock baggies and cut tiny holes in one corner of each bag. Place a small amount of black color icing in one bag, and a small amount of red icing in the second bag.
  3. Place Whoppers in a small bowl and place Candy Corn in another bowl. Now you're ready to make Oreo Turkey Cookies!
  4. Place 4 to 5 Candy Corn pieces into the side of the Oreo cookie so that the pointed tip of the Candy Corn is pressed into the frosted stuffing of the cookie. You can do this for all the cookies or assemble the cookies one at a time.
  5. Melt ½ cup of chocolate candy melts in a microwave safe bowl a few seconds at a time. Mix the chocolate pieces periodically until completely melted.
  6. Take one Whopper and dip it in the melted chocolate and place it in the upper center of the Oreo cookie. Hold and press for a few seconds to let the candy glue onto the cookie. This is the turkey's "head". Note: The Candy Corns should be the top of the cookie to look like the plumes of the turkey.
  7. Next, break off the white tip of one Candy Corn and dip the flat end of the chocolate into the melted chocolate. Glue this "beak" onto the center of the Whopper candy.
  8. Take the cookie with Candy Corn plume, and dip the bottom of the cookie into the melted chocolate. Glue this towards the back edge of the open faced Oreo cookie with the frosted filling facing up. Leave space in front of the turkey to make feet with icing. Make sure you hold the cookie in place and press down gently for just a few seconds to secure the cookie.
  9. Using black icing, make the turkey's eyes and feet. Use the red icing to make the turkey's
  10. Take the red icing and make the turkey's "wattle".
  11. Your first turkey is done. Repeat and make an army of Oreo cookie turkeys.
  12. If you're wondering what to do with the side of the Oreo cookie with no stuffing that was set aside. Feel free to eat it, or you can make "flat" turkeys by glueing on candy as in the photo on this post. Or, you can always eat the chocolate cookie. :)
