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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Use the yellow frosting to pipe tiny details like feet or decorations on the peanut butter cup, if desired.
Step 7
Repeat the process for the remaining cookies to create a total of 12 Nutter Butter Turkeys.
Step 8
Allow the frosting to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Arrange on a platter for a festive and fun holiday treat!
