Ingredients
- 1 12-count box Chocolate Covered Cherries
- 1 bag Candy Corns
- ½ cup Chocolate Buttercream Frosting recipe here
- ¼ cup M&Ms or another small candy
- 1 bag Candy Eyeballs
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On the baking sheet, arrange 5 candy corns to create a fan shape with the tapered ends facing in towards the center.
- Place buttercream frosting in a piping bag and cut off the tip. Add a dollop of frosting to the center of the candy corn fan, then place a chocolate-covered cherry on to stick them all together.
- Repeat to make 12 total, then place into the fridge for about 1 hour until the chocolate frosting has set up.
- Once the frosting has set, remove the baking sheet from the fridge. Using the chocolate buttercream, attach 1 M&M to create a beak, 1 M&M on the top to create a head crown and 2 candy eyeballs. You can add any chest decorations that you would like, as well.
- Repeat for all Chocolate Turkeys, then return to the fridge until everything is hardened and set.
- Serve on a platter, or as a quick and easy Thanksgiving table decoration. Enjoy!
