Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Apple (any variety, medium-sized)
- 2 pieces Large marshmallows
- 2 pieces Candy eyes
- 6 pieces Candy corn
- 2 pieces Mini pretzel sticks
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Peanut butter or frosting (for sticking parts together)
- 3 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the apple. Cut a small slice off the bottom so the apple stands upright without wobbling.
2. Insert 5 candy corns into the top-back of the apple to create the 'feathers' of the turkey. Space them evenly in an arc.
3. Use a toothpick to attach a large marshmallow to the front-center of the apple. This will act as the turkey's face and head.
4. Dip the back of the candy eyes in melted chocolate or use a small dab of peanut butter/frosting, then stick them onto the marshmallow head.
5. Place one additional candy corn on the marshmallow just below the eyes, pointy side down, to act as the beak. Use melted chocolate or peanut butter/frosting to secure it in place.
6. Break the mini pretzel sticks into smaller pieces and insert them into the bottom-front of the apple to create 'legs' for the turkey.
7. Use any additional decoration as desired to make your turkey extra festive. Repeat for additional servings.
8. Serve your edible turkeys as a fun and festive Thanksgiving treat!
