Delicious Dish Tuesday: Yummy Turkey Cookies

Welcome to another Delicious Dish Tuesday hosted by Full Tima Mama, Coping with Frugality, and Mama Chocolate. This is a blog hop for and about delicious food!

Pumpkins class is having a Thanksgiving Party/Meal tomorrow so we went and made everyone these really cute Turkey cookies. The one cookie we made a little different because his one friend can not have red food dye so instead of candy corn on hers we used raisins and cupcake sprinkles. :-)

Recipe from Taste of Home Magazine...

What You Need:

1 pkg (12oz) semisweet chocolate chips

1 pkg (11 oz) candy corn - Wal-Mart sells it year round in the candy aisle

1 pkg fudge striped cookies

1/4 cup butter, cubed

1/4 cup peanut butter - optional (I use peanut butter in my rice kripies)

4 cups mini marshmallows

6 cups crisp rice cereal

What To Do:

1. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. For tails, use a dab of chocolate to attach five candy corns in a fan shape to the chocolate side of half of the cookies; refrigerate until set.

2. In a large saucepan, melt butter and add peanut butter if your using it. Add marshmallows; stir over low heat until melted. Stir in ceeal. Cool for 10 minutes. With buttered hands, form cereal mixture into 1 1/2-in balls.

3. Remelt chocolate if needed. Using chocolate, attach the cereal balls to the chocolate side of the remaining cookies. Position tails perpendicular to the base cookies; attach with chocolate. Refrigerate until set.

4. For feet, cut off white tips from 32 candy corns; discard tips. (or eat them) Attach feet to base cookies with chocolate. Attach one candy corn to each cereal ball for heads.

Store in an airtight container.
