Ingredients
- 1 piece Apple (any variety, medium-sized)
- 2 pieces Large marshmallows
- 2 pieces Candy eyes
- 6 pieces Candy corn
- 2 pieces Mini pretzel sticks
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Peanut butter or frosting (for sticking parts together)
- 3 pieces Toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
1. Wash and dry the apple. Cut a small slice off the bottom so the apple stands upright without wobbling.
Step 2
2. Insert 5 candy corns into the top-back of the apple to create the 'feathers' of the turkey. Space them evenly in an arc.
Step 3
3. Use a toothpick to attach a large marshmallow to the front-center of the apple. This will act as the turkey's face and head.
Step 4
4. Dip the back of the candy eyes in melted chocolate or use a small dab of peanut butter/frosting, then stick them onto the marshmallow head.
Step 5
5. Place one additional candy corn on the marshmallow just below the eyes, pointy side down, to act as the beak. Use melted chocolate or peanut butter/frosting to secure it in place.
Step 6
6. Break the mini pretzel sticks into smaller pieces and insert them into the bottom-front of the apple to create 'legs' for the turkey.
Step 7
7. Use any additional decoration as desired to make your turkey extra festive. Repeat for additional servings.
Step 8
8. Serve your edible turkeys as a fun and festive Thanksgiving treat!
