How to Make Nutter Butter Turkeys
Step 1: Separate the Oreo halves and discard the filling, then place them on a baking sheet. Cut off a triangle from the orange end of the chocolate candy corn to make each turkey beak.
Step 2: Place chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring well in between. Dip one end of each Nutter Butter into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place it onto the bottom part of one of the Oreo halves.
Step 3: Place an orange candy corn beak and two candy eyes in the chocolate dipped portion of the Nutter Butter.
Step 4: Pipe just a bit of the red frosting onto the back of 5 candy corn pieces, then place them around the top of the Oreo cookie halves to make the turkey feathers. You can also attach them with a dab of chocolate.
Step 5: Allow the chocolate to harden. Finally, pipe a dab of red frosting beside the candy corn beak to make the turkey’s gobbler. Enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- If your Nutter Butters start to detach themselves from the Oreo cookie halves, slide an extra candy corn under the plain end of the Nutter Butter to hold it up while the chocolate sets.
- If you prefer, you can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate melting wafers instead of melting them in the microwave.
- Any variety of Oreo cookies, or any other flat, round cookie will work in place of the regular Oreos in this recipe.
- If you don’t have Nutter Butter cookies, you can use Milano cookies as a substitute.
- You can also use Red Hot Candies in place of the candy corn nose. If you don’t have candy eyes, use chocolate chips or mini M&M’s instead.
You can store your leftover cookies in an airtight container either in the fridge or at room temperature for up to 5 days. Place them in a single layer so as not to break off any of the decorations.
