WithTurkey Day around the corner, I have decided to prepare some yummy cookie-candy Turkey's! In my opinion, dessert is the best part of any meal, Especially around the holidays. These treats are very simple yet very eye catching. I found this recipe from Giada De Laurentiis on the Food network and couldnt resist making them. The only thing I switched up were the candy corns for gummy candy since I couldn't find any at the supermarket.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
30 candy corn candies, plus 6 white tips of candy corn (or gummy candy)
6 chocolate sandwich cookies (Like oreos)
6 mini peanut butter cups
6 malt balls
1 cup Red Frosting (Pre made frosting and red food coloring)
6 chocolate sandwich cookies with top cookies removed
Directions
1. Place the chocolate chips in a medium stainless steel or glass bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has melted, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. For each turkey, push 5 triangle shaped gummy candies, tip-side down, into the cream filling of a chocolate sandwich cookie to make the feathers for the turkey. Lay the cookie on a work surface.
3. Dip the flat, larger end of a peanut butter cup in the melted chocolate allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the peanut butter cup, chocolate-dipped end down, onto the sandwich cookie.
4.Dip a malt ball into the melted chocolate allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the malt ball above the peanut butter cup to make the head of the turkey.
5.Dip the flat end of a white candy gummy in the chocolate. Place on the malt ball, to make the turkey beak. Refrigerate until the chocolate has set, about 10 minutes.
6.Place the Red Frosting in a piping bag. Using scissors, cut a small opening in the end of the piping bag. Pipe a small piece of frosting under the malt ball to make the turkey's beard. (I used a toothpick to drizzle some of the red Frosting. I mixed some pre-made frosting with red food coloring to save time instead of making it.
7. Place a cookie (with top half removed) on a platter. Stand the turkey upright into the cream filling. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
