Nilla Wafer Thanksgiving Turkeys |
Author: Melissa | Persnickety Plates
Nilla Wafer Thanksgiving Turkeys are cookies sandwiched together with peanut butter, dipped in chocolate, and decorated with fall colored M&Ms, candy corn, and candy eyes, all on a popsicle stick! So fun for the kids and festive for the Thanksgiving table!
- Nilla wafers
- creamy peanut butter
- chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
- fall colored M&Ms
- candy eyes
- candy corn
- popsicle sticks
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper and lay out all your supplies.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter onto the back of one Nilla wafer.
- Lay a popsicle stick into the peanut butter then add a small amount of peanut butter onto the stick (for "glue").
- Sandwich another Nilla wafer on top.
- Repeat for as many turkeys as you want to make.
- Place into the fridge or freezer for a bit so they firm up.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers and heat for 1 minute, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds, repeating as necessary until fully melted. Let cool slightly - it'll be easier to work with.
- Use a spatula to spread a tiny bit of chocolate onto the wax paper to make "feet" for your turkey (if you want them to stand up).
- Spread chocolate onto the front of one of the Nilla wafers (to make the face).
- Add the M&Ms (feathers), eyes, and candy corn nose). Then stand it onto the pre-made base/feet.
- Repeat for as many as you want to make.
- Let set and enjoy! Store in the fridge.
