It gets harder and harder each year to get together as a family to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner.  Everyone has lives that are so busy that there just isn’t enough time to sit down and relax.  Or is that just my family?  Now, don’t get me wrong, I make the time for what’s important, but if I could have the chance of making something homemade this year, or doing a no-bake cookie idea, I’ll definitely be doing the no-bake! 

 

Oreos, Nutter Butters?  How much more delicious could these cookies be?  Add Rolos, Maltesers, Candy Corns and melted chocolate and they are amazing!  Oh, and easy!  Did I mention that?  Since everything is already baked for you, all you have to do is head to the store to get a couple of ingredients, melt your chocolate, and the rest of your work is fun!  I think of projects like these as playing with my food- and that is fun obviously! 

 

Ingredients:

• Oreos (double stuffed, or Pumpkin Spice)
• Candy Corn
• Blue round candy sugar pearls
• Heart sprinkles (small)
• Orange candy covered sunflower seeds
• Rolos
• Maltesers/Whoppers 
• Melted chocolate

Procedure:

1. Slice a small section off one Oreo.  Using melted chocolate attach it perpendicularly to a second Oreo.
2. Between the layers of cookies on the Oreo, use chocolate to glue candy corns in place.  Place them around the Oreo in a fan shape for feathers.
3. Slice a small section off of one Rolo so that the Rolo can lie flush against the vertical Oreo. Glue it in place with chocolate, and then glue a Maltesers on top of the Rolo.
4. Glue a second row of candy corn around the body of the turkey in a fan shape.
5. Place the eyes, beak and waddle in place using chocolate to glue them on the Malteser.
6. Glue hearts at the base of the Rolo for the turkey’s feet. 
7. Allow to harden completely before moving.
