The children in your class or at home will love making—and eating—these Thanksgiving Turkey Cookies.

You’ll need:

• chocolate-covered Oreo cookies
• chocolate frosting
• chocolate jingle bells candy
• chocolate chips
• red hot candies
• candy corn

Kids will use the frosting as “glue” for this snack.

Children’s Snack: Thanksgiving Turkey Cookies (With Tutorial Video!)

• First, have kids frost the inside of two chocolate-covered Oreo cookies and place them together (for the turkey’s base).
• Then, frost a chocolate jingle bell candy to the top of the Oreo cookie base (for the turkey’s body).
• Next, frost a chocolate chip to the jingle bell candy (for the turkey’s head).
• Then, frost a red hot candy under the chocolate chip (for the turkey’s wattle).
• Next, frost the base of the turkey behind the turkey’s body.
• Lastly, place five candy corns (large tip facing out) to this area (for the turkey’s feathers).

After kids each make a candy turkey, allow them to enjoy their creation. While they eat, encourage them to talk about all the things they’re thankful for this Thanksgiving-including yummy candy!
