Ingredients:
- 6 Fudge Covered Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, for melting
- Candy corn
- Yellow M&Ms
- Candy eyes
Tip: regular nutter butter cookies work just as well as the fudge covered ones! Try experimenting with different store-bought cookies.
Directions:
1. Open the box of cookies and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips at 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.
3. Use the chocolate to “glue” the turkey features into place on the nutter butter cookie.
4. Spread a line of chocolate on the top half of the cookie and stick five candy corns to it, creating turkey feathers.
5. Place a few dabs of chocolate on the bottom, center of the cookie.
6. Press candy eyes and a yellow m&m beak into the chocolate.
Tip: be sure to use a generous amount of melted chocolate and really press the features into the cookie so that they stick.
7. Put the baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
TIPS FOR MAKING THESE TURKEY COOKIES:
- Lay the chocolate covered treat on a cookie tray for easy moving and transporting before serving.
- These cookies are best served and stored on a flat surface as they tend to break when stored in a bag or bowl.
- Regular nutter butter cookies can be dipped in melted milk chocolate.
- Store these yummy treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to a week at room temperature. They can also be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
More Cookie Tips:
- Use skittles, smarties or any other yellow candy for the yellow beaks instead of m&ms.
- Mini pretzels could also be used for feathers.
- Use white candy melts, chocolate candy melts or a dot of frosting to stick features to the cookies.
