Put two yellow dots on for eyes, and for the black spots in the eyes you can use a dab of chocolate frosting, or a mini chocolate chip, or a little sprinkle like I’ve used. While they’re still lying there, use a dab of frosting (I use yellow) and glue on the white tip of a candy corn for a beak. We wouldn’t want a turkey running around with its head cut off, would we? I put frosting on the side of the whopper that hits both the cookie and the PB cup. Now those little guys will need heads, so glue a whopper on there with frosting as well. Place a dab of frosting on the peanut butter cup, and place it on the cookie like so: My frosting was a bit soft, so they needed the extra support. Once those are ready, flip your cookies over, but you may find it’s easy to keep them next to the wall. (Although I wouldn’t have to tell you what to do with a broken one either, would I?) Cut it from the bottom like I show here: (I don’t need to tell you what to do with the sliver, do I?) It helps to gently cut in a sawing motion so you don’t break the PB cup. Take a sharp knife and cut a sliver off one end. While those are drying, unwrap your peanut butter cups. It helps to place them next to a wall as they dry so they stay put.

Next, put a dab of frosting on the opposite end of the cookie and secure it to the “base” cookie. Go ahead and do all of the cookies through this step. I think the candy corn sticks in better with the tip so I leave it on. If you’re in some sort of candy corn shortage, you can cut off the white tips to use later for your beaks. Just give it a little squeeze of chocolate. You don’t have to put frosting in there, but I like to because it holds in the candy corn a little better. It doesn’t really matter what they taste like and they last forever (which is both cool and disturbing at the same time.) I’m using store-bought tubes for everything here purely for convenience- works great! Step 1: However, for the colored details like yellow and red, these little tubes are great. The chocolate is easy to make, and homemade actually works a little better because you can make it stiff.

*For these kinds of things I love to use the little pre-filled tubes of colored frosting you can buy in the baking aisle. Ingredients/Supplies needed for candy turkeys:
