For Assembly
  • 1 cup Candy Melts (white) Melt until smooth for the best adhesion.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Work Area: Begin by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure an easy cleanup later on.
  2. Melt Candy: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white candy melts and heat them in the microwave at 30-second intervals until fully melted, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Assemble Turkeys: Spread a small dollop of the melted candy onto the bottom half of a large round Nutter Butter cookie and press a regular peanut-shaped cookie onto it.
  4. Add Feathers: While the melted candy is still warm, press five pieces of candy corn into the top of the peanut-shaped cookie to form the turkey's feathers.
  5. Apply Eyes & Beak: Use a skewer dipped in the melted candy to place two candy eyes on the round cookie, then add a half piece of Reese’s for the beak.
  6. Decorate with Icing: Pipe red icing to create a wattle on the round cookie right above the beak.
  7. Set: Allow the assembled cookies to set for about 15-20 minutes or refrigerate for 5-10 minutes for quicker results.
