Ingredients
- 20 Reese's Pieces yellow & orange
- 16 Nutter Butters
- 1 & 1/2 C. dark brown candy melts
- 32 small candy eyes
- 16 Fudge Stripes cookies
- 96 candy corns

Instructions
- Spread a large piece of parchment paper on counter. Assembly of turkey cookies will take place on here.
- Cut Reese's Pieces in half. Cut them all and pick the best 16 for the beaks.
- Melt candy melts in a small bowl in microwave for 30 seconds on 50% power. Stir. Continue with 30 second intervals (at 50% power), stirring between each heating cycle, until chocolate is melted.
- Using a toothpick, dab a bit of chocolate on the back of a candy eye. Place on top half of nutter butter cookie. Repeat with second eye. Dab a bit of chocolate on back of one Reese's Pieces half. Place on nutter butter for beak. Repeat until all the eyes and beaks are on.
- If needed, heat candy melts until melted again.
- Spread a bit of chocolate across top third to top half of Fudge Stripe cookie. Place 6 candy corns on each cookie for turkey feathers. Repeat until all 16 cookies have feathers. Allow to set.
- If needed, heat candy melts until melted again.
- Spread a small amount of melted chocolate on back of top half of Nutter Butter cookie (eyes and beak on front; this chocolate will be on back). Gently press the Nutter Butter cookie onto the prepared Fudge Stripe cookies underneath the feathers. Allow to set.
- Using red cookie icing, dab a small amount next to each beak and a bit below to make turkey wattle.
Notes
-When heating candy melts, the bowl should never be too hot to touch with bare hands. If it warms too much, allow it to cool slightly and stir candy melts before next heating cycle.
