Supplies

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Snack Size– You need at least 2 sizes. The snack size is bigger and flatter for the body.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniature – The smaller size is for the head.

Reese’s Pieces -You don’t need very many of these because it’s just for the beak.

Mike and Ike’s – I use these instead of candy corn because I can never find candy corn anywhere after Halloween us over. But you can find Mike and Ike’s all year long! These add so much beautiful color to the chocolate turkeys.

Candy Eyes – You can’t skip these. These are what make the turkeys so adorable and funny. If you buy a bottle of them, you can add edible eyeballs to all kinds of baked treats and they make everything so much more enjoyable to look at!

Chocolate Chips – or some kind of chocolate you can melt easily. This is what sticks everything together.

Plastic bags for melted chocolate chips – I just used sandwich bags but just make sure the corner of the bag is like a piping bag. A lot of the plastic bags now are folded over at the corners so you can’t use them as piping bags anymore. Here’s the difference:

How to Make Chocolate Turkeys

Warm a small amount of chocolate chips in a sandwich bag until they are like liquid. Cut off the tiniest bit of one corner.

Unwrap a large Reese’s cup and a small one.

Add a dot of melted chocolate to the flat surface of the larger Reese’s. Then add the smaller Reese’s cup on top, You want it to be off-set, towards the bottom.

Cut a Reese’s Pieces in half for the beak. If you’re making just one for yourself, you can just bite the candy in half.

Add chocolate dots on the smaller Reese’s for the eyes and the beak and add the candy on top.

Add chocolate to the surface of the larger Reese’s and add Mike and Ike’s as the chocolate turkey’s feathers.

Let it sit for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden and then you can pick it up to show everyone.

This is such a fun activity to do in a group because everyone comes up with all kinds of cute and hilarious creations.

I’ve made chocolate turkeys with little kids and with teenagers and we all had a blast!
