These no-bake Oreo turkeys are the Thanksgiving treat children remember. A double-stuffed Oreo holds a fan of candy corn tail feathers, a mini peanut butter cup is the body, a malted milk ball is the head, and a dab of frosting glues on candy eyes and a candy corn beak. Twenty minutes, no oven, and every one has its own personality.
Why You’ll Love It
- No baking.
- Store candy, nothing to cook.
- Kids build them at the table.
What You Need
- 12 double-stuffed chocolate sandwich cookies
- 60 candy corn pieces
- 12 mini peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
- 12 malted milk balls
- 1/2 cup chocolate frosting (in a piping bag or zip-top bag)
- 24 candy eyeballs
How to Make Oreo Turkey Cookies
- Gently twist 5 candy corn pieces into the cream of each cookie, points in, fanned like tail feathers.
- Pipe a dot of frosting on the front of each cookie and press a mini peanut butter cup on, wide side down, for the body.
- Pipe a dot of frosting on top of the peanut butter cup and set a malted milk ball on it for the head.
- Use tiny dots of frosting to stick two candy eyes on the head and one candy corn, point out, for the beak.
- Let set 20 minutes before moving.
Tips
- Soften the frosting slightly so it pipes in small dots.
- Chill the finished turkeys 10 minutes so the heads stay put.
- Red hots make a wattle under the beak.
Serving and Storing
Store in a single layer in an airtight container up to 3 days.
