Ingredients

24 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
24 Snyders Snaps pretzels
48 Candy eyes
24 orange Reese’s Pieces
Leaf sprinkles
Candy Corn Optional

Instructions

Unwrap Reese’s Cups - this helps the process to go faster and the chocolate “glue” not to harden.
In a microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in 30 second increments until chocolate is melted and smooth.
Use a spoon to transfer the melted chocolate to a zippered bag and cut the tip off for easy use (and less mess).
On a plate or parchment paper, start by putting some chocolate on the top of the Reese’s Cup and then attach the narrow end of the pretzel onto the Reese’s.
Flip the Reese’s over so that the pretzel is on the bottom.
Put three dots of chocolate for the two eyes and nose.
Place 2 candy eyes and an orange Reese’s Pieces over the chocolate dots to secure in place.
On one side of the Reese’s Pieces, put a red leaf sprinkle to create the wattle of the turkey.
On the back side of the Reese’s, put some chocolate on the pretzel and attach three leaf sprinkles (any color).
Let treats cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

How many treats you can make from the chocolate depends on how much chocolate you use to attach each piece.

You can double or triple the recipe depending on how many treats you need.

If you can’t find the same leaf sprinkles I used, you can use these leaf sprinkles which you can find at Amazon or Walmart in a Fall Sprinkles set. I used two red leaves since they were thinner and it turned out great! For the feathers, I used 2-3 layers of leaves!

You could also use candy corn for the feathers, just cut the white tip off and attach with chocolate glue!
