Even better, these all use the same ingredients.

Kristine Brabson

Look, you can't have a family holiday without an adorable dessert. It's just not done. And these little cuties are what your sugar-fiending guests, big and little, will flip for (really, you're never too old for a peanut butter cup). Most of these the same ingredients, so go ahead and make the whole rafter — that's what you call a group of turkeys, by the way. Fun fact!

Rolo Turkeys

You'll Need:

• Mini pretzels

• Rolo candies

• Candy corn

• Yellow or orange M&Ms or Reese's Pieces

• Candy eyeballs or mini jawbreakers


1. Preheat oven to 300° F.

2. Lay out the mini pretzels, salted side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

3. On each pretzel, place three candy corns so the white tips are touching.

4. Lay a rolo on top of the white points of the candy corn. Place the tray in the oven until Rolos are soft, about 2 minutes.

5. Apply 2 candy eyes and the M&M beaks, pressing down gently so the Rolos adhere to the pretzel.

6. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving. 

Pretzel Rod Gobblers

You'll Need:

• Pretzel rods

• 1 ccup chocolate chips

• Thin chocolate-covered cookies (like Thin Mints or Grasshopper Cookies)

• Candy Corn 

• Candy eyeballs 

• Yellow or orange M&Ms or Reese's Pieces

•Chocolate frosting


1. Lay the  cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment, leaving enough room for the pretzel rods to go underneath. 

2. Apply a bit of frosting to the top of the cookie to attach 5 candy corns.

3. In a microwave-safe bowl or  jar, microwave the chocolate chips, stopping and stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

4. Dip the pretzels into the chocolate 2/3 way and roll to coat. Shake off excess and lay on center of chocolate cookies.

5. Apply 2 candy eyes and an M&M beak to the top of the pretzel rods.

6. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.

Peanut Butter Cup Turkeys

You'll Need:

• Oreos

• Peanut butter cups

• Chocolate frosting

• Candy corn

• Candy eyeballs

• Yellow or orange M&'s or Reese's Pieces


1. Split open the Oreos and apply a layer of chocolate frosting on the naked cookie. Arrange 5 candy corns on the frosting and sandwich with the other side.

2. Use chocolate frosting to attach a peanut butter cup to both sides of the Oreo. 

3. Use chocolate frosting to attach the candy eyes and M&M nose to one side. 

4. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
