Main Ingredients
- 1 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup
- 1 Small Package of Reese’s Pieces
- 2 large Pretzel Twists
- 1 Whoppers Candy
- Chocolate & Red Sprinkles
- Chocolate & White Cookie Frosting
Instructions
- Prepare Pretzel Pieces: Break your 2 pretzel twists into smaller parts and select 4 of the broken pieces to use as wings or feathers. Alternatively, you can use pretzel sticks if preferred.
- Attach Reese’s Pieces: Set the pretzel pieces on a flat surface and glue Reese’s pieces on top of them using chocolate cookie frosting as adhesive. Allow these to dry on wax paper to ensure they set properly.
- Attach Pretzel Decorations to Cup: Once dry, affix the pretzel pieces with attached Reese’s pieces to the back side of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup using more chocolate cookie frosting. Let this dry completely before moving on.
- Add Whopper Candy: Place one Whopper candy in the center of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and secure it with cookie frosting to form the turkey’s body feature.
- Make Feet and Beak: Break orange and yellow Reese’s pieces in half; use the orange halves to form the turkey’s feet and a yellow half to create the beak, attaching them carefully to the peanut butter cup using frosting.
- Create Eyes and Wattle: Use white cookie frosting to make two eyes on the front of the Reese’s cup. Add chocolate sprinkles on top of the frosting to form the pupils. Finally, place a red sprinkle next to the beak to represent the turkey’s wattle.
