Tom Turkeys Recipe

Prep:30 min. Cook: 5 min. + cooling

Yield: 26 Servings

30 5 35

Ingredients

1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 package (11 ounces) candy corn
52 fudge-striped cookies
1/4 cup butter, cubed
4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups crisp rice cereal
52 white confetti sprinkles

Directions

In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. For tails, use a dab of chocolate to attach five candy corns to the chocolate side of half of the cookies in a fan shape; refrigerate until set.
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add marshmallows; stir over low heat until melted. Stir in cereal. Cool for 10 minutes. With buttered hands, form cereal mixture into 1-1/2-in. balls.
Remelt chocolate if necessary. Using chocolate, attach the cereal balls to the chocolate side of the remaining cookies. Position tails perpendicular to the base cookies; attach with chocolate. Refrigerate until set.
For feet, cut off white tips from 52 candy corns; discard tips. Attach feet to base cookies with chocolate. Attach one candy corn to each cereal ball for heads.
With a toothpick dipped in chocolate, attach two confetti sprinkles to each head. Using chocolate, dot each sprinkle to make pupils. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 26 turkeys.

They are so easy to make. CUTE CUTE CUTE, we had them for a dinner for the CEOS. Some were taking them home for their grandchildren. What do you have for Christmas? !!!!!!

These are so fun and are so fun to make! I made them for my daughter's preschool and was told that the kids loved them. I couldn't find round white sprinkles, so I melted white chocolate and freehanded that part. I'm not really sure the white part of the eyes is necessary, and will just do the brown part next time.
