How to Make Thanksgiving Turkey Sweet Treats

The kids will like helping you make these Thanksgiving turkeys as much as they will like eating them.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Vanilla wafers
• Old fashioned cream drop candy
• candy corn
• white icing
• food coloring
• small icing piping device
• optional: small candies to decorate with

1. Use icing to attach an old fashioned cream drop candy, on its side, to a vanilla wafer with its flat side down. The pointed end will be the front of the turkey, and the flat end will hold the tail.

2. 
   Side view of turkey.

   Use some more icing to attach a vanilla wafer to the bottom of the cream drop to form the turkeys tail.

3. Use some more icing to attach a candy corn to the front of your turkey and form a head.

4. 
   Front view of sweet turkey.

   Now you have the main part of your turkey. Just decorate it with icing colored any way you like. You can also use small candies for decorations. I didn't have any icing, but I put some basic turkeys together for photos to help you get an idea of how to assemble them.
