Oreo Turkeys


Do you know what you're making for Thanksgiving yet?  We go to my brother-in-law's in Newport Beach every year, and I'm the dessert-bringer (big surprise, right?).  We've got a huge crowd there, so there's always tons of food.  I think I ended up bringing five different things last year.

One of the things I made last year were these Oreo and candy turkeys to use as placecards for the kid's table (there are around 18  kids at our Thanksgiving).  I made little toothpick flags with the kids'  names and poked that into the chocolate and placed them at the table.  Because I made these pretty late the night before Thanksgiving, I wasn't too concerned with making all the details perfect (Ugh, those feet!).....but you know what?  The kids loved them!  Oreos and candy glued together with chocolate?  What's not to love?

Do you want to give these a try?  Go to Our Best Bites for a fantastic step-by-step of how to put these together......Enjoy!

Now pardon me while I go try to figure out what I'm bring this year.......

  2. These look great! I have the ingredients for them and can't wait to make them! Love the idea of using them as name placecards! We wont have that many kids around the table, but would still be fun to do!
