Recipe Tips
- Make it Your Own
You can decorate these fun treats however you like with ingredients you have on hand. Don't have miniature pretzel twists for the feathers? Use small pretzel sticks, candy corn pieces, pecan halves or Mini NILLA Wafers. Faces can be made with any small candies or decorating icings. For added fun, let each family member decorate their own turkey. - Substitute
Substitute melted white candy coating wafers or ready-to-spread frosting for the melted white chocolate. If using frosting, spoon frosting into microwaveable bowl and microwave just until slightly warmed before using as directed. - Serving Suggestion
Place turkeys on tops of frosted cupcakes before serving.
