The only problem encountered while making these little devils was the extra broken pieces, of course, they were quickly consumed, accidents happen! Â

Step One:

Push the pretzels (or candy corn) into the Double Stuffed Oreo.

Step Two:

Using the chocolate icing as glue, adhere the bottom Oreo to the Oreo you pretzeled.

Step Three:

Shave off one of the sides of the Peanut Butter Cup. (Use the chocolate icing as glue to adhere the chocolate piece to the oreo back and bottom.

Step Four:  With the Turkey laying on his back, adhere the head - the whopper -  to the oreo.

Step Five:  Cut the pumpkin seeds or you can use the white part of candy corn and chocolate glue to the head.

Let the turkeys dry overnight.

Step Six:  Using the red icing, pipe a little red under the beak of the turkey.

Step Seven:  Pipe yellow dots for eyes and use a chocolate or red dot for eye centers.

Step Eight:  Pipe yellow feet.
