Nutter Butter Turkeys image

This fall I'm on a quest to make recipe using Nutter Butter cookies. This recipe/craft project was inspired by The Party Animal web site. http://www.thepartyanimal-blog.org/nutter-butter-turkey-cookie-pops/

Categories     Candy

Time 1h

Yield 6 Turkeys, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
12 ounces yellow candy melts
6 ounces orange candy melts
6 ounces red candy melts
12 edible candy eyes
2 -3 pieces orange Starburst candies (beak)
6 lollipop sticks
wax paper
3 plastic bottles (melting or decorating squeeze bottle with a cap with a small-medium round opening)

Steps:

  • Draw a turkey on plain paper and make as many copies as desired. The body should be the outline of a Nutter Butter cookie.(A template appears in the photo section.) Lay a piece of wax paper over each template.
  • Cut the Starburst candies into pointy triangles so they resemble a beak. Set aside.
  • Add yellow candy melts to one of the decorating bottles. I lay the bottle on its side in the microwave. Microwave at 50% power for one minute. Press the bottle, mixing the candy and continue melting in 20-30 second intervals. Don't overcook the candy melts.
  • Yellow: Fill in the body and first row of feathers with the melted yellow candy melts. Immediately press the lollipop stick into the body area. Add a little bit more yellow on top of the stick and press a Nutter Butter cookie on top. Do the same with the remaining turkeys.
  • Orange: Melt the orange candy in bottle #2. Fill in the next row of feathers. Repeat with remaining turkeys.
  • Red: Melt the red candy in bottle #3. Fill in the outer row of feathers. Repeat with remaining turkeys.
  • Add the candy eyes. You can reheat the yellow candy melts or use a small amount of melted white chocolate chips. Put a dab on the back of the edible eyes and attach to the turkey body.
  • Add the beak. Put a dab of melted candy on the back of the beak and attach right below the eyes.
  • Snood: It's that red thing that dangles on the turkey's face. You may need to remelt the red candy. Pipe a squiggly red snood onto the turkey face.
  • Allow turkeys to harden. Enjoy!

I followed the recipe exactly and my turkeys turned out a little dry. I think I'll try adding a little more frosting next time.

I'm not a big fan of Nutter Butter cookies, but these turkeys were surprisingly good. The chocolate and peanut butter flavors go really well together.

These are so cute and easy to make! I used Reese's Pieces for the eyes and they turned out perfect.
