How To Make A Candy Turkey

Looking for what to do with leftover Hallween candy? Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks away and I am already planning how to decorate the Thanksgiving Table in a way that is fun and festive. I am not sure there is anything more fun than a Candy Turkey. 

These Candy Turkeys are made with my favorite Reese's candy - which actually DOES come in a sugar-free version. You can also use my Keto Peanut Butter Cups to make these even more ketofied!

But in all actuality, Thanksgiving will be my one day to not worry too much about my sugar intake. 

I love these easy candy turkeys because they can be put together by even the littlest of hands. Even though my girls are much older now, this would be a fun kids Thanksgiving craft to do with your little loved ones. 

Reese’s Candy Turkey

Materials:

• Regular sized Reese’s Cups
• Snack sized Reese’s Cups
• Reese’s Pieces
• Black decorator’s icing
• Candy eyes
• Knife

Instructions:

Unwrap a regular sized Reese’s Cup, and lay it facing up on a flat surface.

Apply a dab of decorator’s icing to the bottom of a snack-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

Press the smaller Reese’s Cup with the icing on the bottom of it onto the top of regular sized Reese’s cup, near the bottom.

The smaller candy will be the head of the turkey, and the larger will be its body.

Place some black icing on theback of two candy eyes, and apply them to the top of the smaller Reese’s cup.

Using a knife, carefully cutan orange Reese’s Pieces in half. Apply some black icing to one-half of the Reese’s Pieces, and press it onto the front of the small peanut butter cup, under the candy eyes.

Place some black icing onto the back of individual Reese’s Pieces, and apply them alternating colors along the outer edge of the larger Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, these will be the feathers of your turkey.

Allow the candy turkeys to set in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before serving.
