Oreo Turkeys


Halloween has come and gone, but the candy still lingers.  These turkeys are our favorite Thanksgiving treat and a great way to use up all that candy corn!


Did I mention that Arielle won the Candy Corn Estimating contest?
Way to go, honey!


STEP #1

  • Do everything in assembly line fashion.
  • Lay out all the Oreos (I use double stuffed) on a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
  • Melt about 8 ounces of chocolate in a Gallon sized Ziploc bag.
  • Snip the corner 1/4" or less.  This bag will be used for piping chocolate "glue."


STEP #2

  • Put a dime-sized dot of chocolate on the lower center part of the Oreo.
  • Working quickly, place one Whopper on the chocolate spot of "Glue."


STEP #3
  • Working 3 or 4 Oreos at a time, pipe on chocolate to the remaining top portion of the Oreo.
  • Add five Candy Corn "feathers".  The largest Candy Corn should be in the center.



STEP #4

  • Put a dot of chocolate on top of each Whopper.
  • Attach a Candy Corn head.
  • Using "Writing Icing" (Not Gel), dot two blue eyes and a red "wattle"  (Or is it the Snood?) to the head and let dry.
Enjoy!  These are actually quite tasty.  They have become a Thanksgiving tradition at our house and grace our Thanksgiving table right along with the pumpkin pie!
