.bag of candy corn

.bag of oreo cookies

 

1. melt the butter in a large saucepan

2. add the bag of marshamallows and stir until the marshmallows are

    completely melted.

3. remove from heat and add the rice crispies cereal and stir

   the mixture   unti the cereal is well coated .

4. Let cool for 5 minutes, then butter your hands and shape the ceral mixture into 1/1/2 inch balls.

5.  Melt chocolate in microwave in a glass pyrex measuring cup for 1 1/2 minutes on power level 5.  Take 

     them out and stir, then place them back in the microwave for an additinal 1/1/2 minutes on power 

     level  5 Remove and stir until completely melted.

6.  You can use a spoon or a plastic bottle like pictured above ( I got in a candy making supply store) and

     place  melted chocolate ontop of oreo and then place rice cripsy ball ontop and allow  chocolate to        

     harden.  Tke another oreo and drizzle chocolate on half of the cookie and put three to four candy corns

     on to represent the turkey feathers.  Allow that to sit and harden.  Then take your ball and turkey   

    feather pieces and put them together with melted chocolate hold it for a few seconds and lean it against  

   side of the cookie sheet as it hardens.  Last step is to take a candy corn and place it on the rice  

   crispy ball to represent the turkey head.

These are so cute that I sometimes make a little cardboard nameplate for my Thanksgiving tabble setting.
