Instructions

  • Melt the Candy: Melt each color of candy melts according to the package instructions. Once smooth, transfer each color into a piping bag and snip off just the very tip to create a small opening.
  • Build the Base: Pipe a small dollop of melted candy (any color works) onto the bottom end of each Nutter Butter cookie and gently press a Nutter Butter Bite on top to form the turkey’s head.
  • Make the Face: Using the yellow candy, attach two candy eyes and a yellow M&M (or Reese’s Piece) to the smaller cookie. This creates the turkey’s playful face and beak.
  • Add the Feathers: Pipe colorful feathers above the turkey’s head using the red, orange, and yellow candy melts. Mix and match the colors to give each turkey a festive, unique look.
  • Finish the Details: Add a wattle by piping a small line of red candy melts just below the turkey’s beak. This little detail makes your butter turkey cookies extra cute and realistic.
