I made these for the first time this year, and they were a big hit at my Thanksgiving party. I'm giving them a 4 only because they were very time consuming, I found myself making one part, then later making another because of the time needed for the turkeys to cool and the lettuce leaves to set up. Also I think I would use runts next time instead of sixlets
This is a very cute idea. I made them for my daughter's class for her Thanksgiving birthday. They were a huge hit, but VERY time consuming. It took me 3 hours to do about 16 turkeys. The only way I'd make this recipe again is if it were for a small family gathering of 10 or less. One tip I would give, especially if you are doing a large number of them, is to spread the wrapped caramels on a heating pad instead of using the microwave, then unwrap and mold as needed.
very time consuming but it was worth it! They were a hit @ Thanksgiving. When making the turkeys themselves I put a dab of water on my finger and pat it on the caramel to give it a glossy look. Also, made Chocolate chip cupcakes w/ whipped nutella icing..... yuuummmm
Where do I find the video?
My little niece made these for Thanksgiving,I saw a picture of them her mom took.These are so cute!I'm saving this for next year I will make these for sure.Thanks for the great idea
So cute! I'm going to try them using Runts candy (the miniature fruit) and skipping the leaves although they're adorable!
I wish I could go to the store right now and get the stuff! Thank you for sharing!I'm getting the stuff tomorrow! ( I hope)
Takes to much time especially for very old crippled hands. Where do you get candy coated sunflower kernels??? What are sixlets and where do you get them???
I think someone has too much time on their hands if they review recipes they won't even try!
What a cute idea. The kids will love it & so will we old folks. Thanks & Keep the ideas coming.
