4 ounces (No preparation needed.)
M&M's

Instructions
1
Start by creating the tail feathers for your turkey. Gently push seven candy corn pieces into each side of the Oreo Double Stuff cookies to form a beautiful tail.
2
To assemble the turkey body, take a small plastic bag and fill it with white frosting. Cut a small piece from the corner of the bag. Place a dab of frosting in the center of each Oreo cookie, then carefully press a Nutter Butter cookie on top to create the turkey's body. If desired, melted peanut butter chips may be used instead of frosting for added flavor.
3
Now it's time to decorate the face! Cut eight candy corn pieces in half to create the turkey noses. Use the bag of frosting to pipe a fat 'T' shape on the upper area of each Nutter Butter cookie. Press two M&M's into the frosting for the eyes. Then, place the candy corn half for the nose right above the frosting, followed by a small red jelly bean nestled lengthwise below the nose.
4
For the final touches, add detailed eyes. Option 1: Using the tube of black decorating gel, pipe a dot on each M&M eye. You can also follow up with a tiny dot of white icing for an extra twinkle by using a toothpick. Option 2: Swap the colors by piping a dot of white frosting onto each brown M&M, then add a tiny dot of black gel with a toothpick for contrast.
