Oreo Cookie Turkeys

You will need the following: Double Stuff Oreos (2 per turkey) Small Reeses’ Peanut Butter Cups (1) Whoppers (1) Candy Corn White Frosting Black Frosting Directions: Place your peanut butter cups in the fridge. They will cut cleaner cold. Then take an Oreo and carefully separate one of the cookies from the frosting. Gently press the pointed tips of 6 candy corns around one half of the Oreo. Take some white frosting and cover the frosting and re-attach the cookie. Take the second oreo and lay it flat on the table. Pick up your Oreo with the candy corn and put some icing on the bottom of the oreo opposite from the candy corn and attach the Oreo onto the flat oreo so that it is on the back half. Prop the stuck together Oreos against a book or a wall to hold it up while the icing dries. If it does not stand up well, add some more icing. Take a cold peanut butter cup and cut a small section off of it so that it will have a flat side. Place some frosting on the flat section and th

Normally it turns into mush, so I would suggest making orange juice out of it if you want to save it. Carve out a jack o’ lantern face on one side of the orange. Fill the lantern with fresh fruit or fruit salad. I find fresh fruit to be the easiest for little ones to eat and the juice from fruit salad can seep out the face. I normally leave the lid off.
