Ingredients

  • 24 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 24 pretzels
  • 48 candy eyes
  • 24 orange Reese's Pieces
  • Leaf sprinkles

Optional

  • Candy corn

Instructions
 

  • Unwrap the Reese's cups.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring each time until melted and completely smooth.
  • Transfer the melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag with a zipper. Cut a small slit on the corner of the bag as an opening.
  • Turn your Reese’s Cup upright and place a big dot of chocolate toward the bottom of it. Place the pretzel on the top right side up, with the narrow side right on top of the chocolate (picture shown above).
  • Turn the Reese’s cup over so the pretzel is on the bottom and peeking out from the top and use the chocolate to make 3 dots for the eyes and nose. Add 2 candy eyes for the eyes and place one orange Reese’s Pieces for the nose.
  • On one side of the Reese’s Pieces put one to two red leaf sprinkles (dependent on size) to create the wattle of the turkey using the melted chocolate to hold in place.
  • Use some melted chocolate on the pretzel and place leaf sprinkles or candy corn to create the feathers on the turkey.
  • Repeat with remaining turkeys!
