turkeys!

Dan and I made these cute turkeys a few weeks ago and I wanted to put a pic of them up. They are fun to make and great for Thanksgiving! My old roommate, Melissa, taught me how to make them and we made them every year in November for people we knew. I wanted to carry on the tradition, so this year Dan help me with them and we took them to a family dinner.

They are really easy to make too! I figured I'd share on here, in case anyone wanted to try them. All you do is make the recipe for rice krispie treats (i threw in some coco krispies b/c Dan had them and i figured turkeys are brown). Instead of putting the rice krispies in a pan, roll them into balls. It's easiest if you put oil on your hands, so they don't stick. Then take an oreo and split it. With frosting (i use chocolate), put half of an oreo on the bottom of the turkey body (so it can stand) and then the other half on the back of the turkey. Stick candy corns (feathers) in between the rice krispie body and the oreo that is on the back of the turkey. Once this is done you can also use the chocolate frosting to attach a candy corn for the beak. Then i use black frosting to make little eyes. They turn out really cute and are full of sugar!
