Ingredients

  • 24 Oreo cookies (any flavor, Regular or Double Stuff)
  • 120 pieces of candy corn
  • ½ cup dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 48 candy eyeballs
  • Orange Reese’s Pieces, cut in half
  • Red cookie icing

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate wafers on a low or defrost setting in 30-second increments. Stir after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and set it aside to cool slightly.
  • Line a baking tray or board with parchment paper for easy transport. Carefully separate the Oreos, placing the halves on the parchment paper.
  • Add a small amount of melted chocolate towards the top of half the cookies. Work in small batches of 4-6 cookies to prevent the chocolate from setting too quickly.
  • Arrange 5 candy corn pieces on top of each cookie for the turkey’s feathers, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
  • Place the remaining Oreo halves on top of the candy corn feathers. Use a skewer to dab a small amount of melted chocolate on the front of the cookie where the eyes will go. Press the candy eyeballs into place.
  • Dip the skewer in chocolate again and add a small dab below the eyes. Place a halved Reese’s Pieces on top for the turkey’s beak.
  • Using the red cookie icing, pipe a small line next to the beak to create the turkey’s wattle or snood.
  • Transfer the Oreo Turkeys to the refrigerator to set for 5-10 minutes. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!
