Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Nutter Butter cookies
- 24 pieces Candy eyes
- 36 pieces Candy corn
- 12 pieces Mini peanut butter cups
- 12 pieces Orange or red candy-coated chocolate candies (e.g., M&Ms)
- 0.5 cups Chocolate frosting
- 0.25 cups Yellow frosting
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients and prepare a clean workspace. Transfer the chocolate frosting and yellow frosting into piping bags or small resealable bags with the tips snipped off for easy application.
Take one Nutter Butter cookie and pipe a small dot of chocolate frosting near the top center of one side to attach two candy eyes.
Just below the eyes, use a small dot of chocolate frosting to attach an orange or red candy-coated chocolate as the turkey's beak.
Flip the Nutter Butter cookie over to the back side. Pipe a line of chocolate frosting along the upper back edge of the cookie to attach three candy corn pieces in a fan shape as the turkey's feathers.
On the front bottom edge of the cookie, pipe a small dot of chocolate frosting to attach a mini peanut butter cup (wide side against the cookie) as the base of the turkey.
Use the yellow frosting to pipe tiny details like feet or decorations on the peanut butter cup, if desired.
Repeat the process for the remaining cookies to create a total of 12 Nutter Butter Turkeys.
Allow the frosting to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Arrange on a platter for a festive and fun holiday treat!
