Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second increments until smooth.

  2. Arrange the full-size Reese’s cups on a tray or baking sheet and set aside.

  3. Dip the skinny side of a yellow or orange M&M into the chocolate and attach it to the center of the Reese’s miniature cups so it is standing upright to create the turkey beak.

  4. Dip the skinny side of the red M&M into the chocolate and attach it next to the beak to create the wattle.

  5. Use a toothpick to paint some melted chocolate on the back of the candy eyeballs and attach two eyeballs above the beak on each turkey head.

Chef's Notes

Jenn’s NotesStorage:
Store leftovers in a cool, dry location in an airtight container for up to a week.
Tips:


I find it easier to assemble the turkey heads before attaching them to the body. If, for any reason, you need to pick up the head to adjust something, the miniature cups are easier to handle than picking up the whole Reese’s cup.

If the chocolate hardens while working on the turkeys, you can re-melt it in the microwave in 20-second increments.

If it is warm in your kitchen, you can place the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set before serving.
