These are SOOOO cute! I didn't give 5 stars because I don't know if the family will like the taste. But presentation alone is worth at least 4 stars. I'll say more after Turkey Day. Oh, and I used small Reese's Pieces for the buckle.

Just finished making these for Thanksgiving...way too cute! Definitely would freeze the PB cups and cookies ahead of time especially if the kids are helping.

Spent two days looking for mini chicklets wound up cutting small pieces from a jellied orange slice

These are very easy to make. I made 100 of them last night for my daughter & son's daycare. The kids love them. I use the Frosting in a tube in yellow & orange. It makes it much easier to do. I actually just squeeze the yellow frosting in the middle of the cookie & then press the peanut butter cup in the middle. Turns out perfect. Then I use the orange tube frosting for the feather. I also use Rollos at times b/c they are considered a nut free food. Awesome recipe!!!

Could not be an easier decoration to make. Placed them on a cookie tray for a church social and family gatherings and got nothing but positive raves.

Can't wait to make them for out Thanksgiving dinner.

I used little square after dinner mints; cut in half length wise instead of the chiclets. LQQKed just fine!

It was a big hit last Thanksgiving. I made the bucle with cut orange licorice twist.

Made them with my kids and nephews 5 - 9 years old and they had a great time. Very cute idea. I had to use orange Tic Tac's, because I could not find any chiclets anywhere. I will be on the look out for them for next time. We put them in a little clear bag and added a Thank You note to them.

My grand daughter had a great time making these last year and is already talking about making them again on "twerkey day"

I would like to give a suggestion. Some people

don't everything. But they sure. Would buy or make it. If it ever was.

I made these last year and thought they were adorable and easy, but forgot about them until my five year old grandson reminded me that we HAD to make the pilgrim hats again, so we are. I guess it has become a cherished tradition.
