My sister in law's mother made these for her family for years. They're so adorable and easy - and fun for the kids to help out with in the kitchen. Ingredients:
16 chocolate wafers |
8 nutter butter sandwich cookies |
1 (8 ounce) package reeses peanut butter cups |
40 candy corn (one small package should do it) |
1 (8 ounce) package white prepared icing (in a tube) |
1 (12 ounce) bag mini chocolate chips |
8 red jelly beans |
16 orange jelly beans |
8 yellow jelly beans (or white) |
Directions:
1. Take a Reeses Peanut butter cups and use about a dime sized dollop of icing to glue it to a chocolate wafer - make sure it's centered. Set aside.
2. Take 8 Nutter Butter cookies and on the top center of one of the cookies make a stripe of icing. Affix two chocolate chips as eyes, a yellow or white nose and a red mouth. Set aside to dry.
3. Take Reeses/Wafers that you started with and around the edge where the Reeses cup meets the wafer, make a half circle of icing. Along that half circle, evenly space 5 candy corns, with the wide part of the candy corn facing outward. Let set for 5 minutes.
4. While the Reese/wafers are on the table laying flat, put a dollop of icing on the center of the Reeses cups and then take the Nutter Butters and glue them onto the Reeses. DO NOT LET SET.
5. Immediately, take a new chocolate wafer and lay it on the table. Put a large round dollop of icing in the center. Take the Reese, nutter/butter body of the turkey and place it on top of the icing. You might need to slide the Nutterbutter/reeses to get the right balance to make it stand up. Usually it stands up pretty easily.
6. Stick two orange feet at the base of the nutter butter.
