These are the cutest little turkeys and are so much fun to make! My four-year-old daughter is constantly begging for more of these so I’m really happy that Thanksgiving only comes once a year. These are so easy and popular at our house all fall long, but especially in November when Thanksgiving is looming. If you’re a chocolate lover like me, you’ll truly enjoy every bite of these scrumptious, Oreo Turkeys! Who doesn’t love Oreos with candy corn feathers and candy eyes?!
Elevate your fun and get the kids to help make these. Kids love to help and they get a chance to use their fine motor skills to create these easy and fun little edible turkeys. Counting out candy corn, candy eyes, and noses teaches kids mathematics and counting—even if they eat a couple during the creating process, it’s still a lot of fun and holiday memories made. If you like these, then you’ll adore my Rolo Turkeys, Turkey Tail Cheese Board, and Caramel Apple Pretzel Bites!

Ingredients in Oreo Turkeys
Oreo cookies. You can use any kind of Oreo cookie you like. This time of year, the orange “Boo” Oreos are available.
Chocolate chips. You can use any type of chocolate chips you like including semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate although I recommend avoiding Nestle Toll House chocolate chips as they do not melt well.
Candy corn. Use candy corn, caramel corn, or any type of triangular candy to resemble the turkey tail.
Butterscotch chips. You can use butterscotch or peanut butter chips for the turkey’s nose.
Candy eyes. Candy eyes or eyeballs can be found at Michaels, Walmart, and perhaps some grocery stores. You can buy them here on Amazon too.
How to make the best Oreo Turkeys
STEP 1: Take apart each Oreo cookie, leaving the cream filling open.
STEP 2: Warm the chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir and if not melted, place back in the microwave, heating in 20-second increments and stirring in between, until melted.
STEP 3: Spread the melted chocolate into the center of the Oreo filling. Place a total of 4 candy corns and or caramel corns on the melted chocolate, upside down, for the feathers. Put the dry Oreo cookie half back on top and carefully press down.
STEP 4: Using melted chocolate and a toothpick or tip of a paring knife, dot the chocolate on the front of the Oreo cookie, creating two spots to place each candy eye, and one dot for the nose. Place the 2 candy eyes on the melted chocolate, and also place the butterscotch chip on the melted chocolate as its nose.
