Ingredients
- 1 bag candy corns
- 1/2 cup chocolate buttercream frosting
- 1 12-count box chocolate covered cherries
- 1/4 cup M&Ms
- 24 candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then 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.
- 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!
