Oreo Turkeys


Halloween has come and gone, but the candy still lingers.  These turkeys are our favorite Thanksgiving treat and a great way to use up all that candy corn!


Did I mention that Arielle won the Candy Corn Estimating contest?
Way to go, honey!


STEP #1

  • Do everything in assembly line fashion.
  • Lay out all the Oreos (I use double stuffed) on a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
  • Melt about 8 ounces of chocolate in a Gallon sized Ziploc bag.
  • Snip the corner 1/4" or less.  This bag will be used for piping chocolate "glue."


STEP #2

  • Put a dime-sized dot of chocolate on the lower center part of the Oreo.
  • Working quickly, place one Whopper on the chocolate spot of "Glue."


STEP #3
  • Working 3 or 4 Oreos at a time, pipe on chocolate to the remaining top portion of the Oreo.
  • Add five Candy Corn "feathers".  The largest Candy Corn should be in the center.



STEP #4

  • Put a dot of chocolate on top of each Whopper.
  • Attach a Candy Corn head.
  • Using "Writing Icing" (Not Gel), dot two blue eyes and a red "wattle"  (Or is it the Snood?) to the head and let dry.
Enjoy!  These are actually quite tasty.  They have become a Thanksgiving tradition at our house and grace our Thanksgiving table right along with the pumpkin pie!

Go Arielle! It's always fun to win- what was the prize? Reminds me of the time (though this isn't exactly the same) when Zack was pulled out the 1 gold Hershey's Kiss out of a bag of 100 kisses (the others were silver) and his third grade teacher said he was the first to ever have done that. They were learning percentages or probability.

These look like a mighty fun dessert treat- I might have to try it with our family gathering (we're going down to MD this year.) Kids will have loads of fun decorating. Which means I better store away that dish of candy corn in the living room right now...

These make an appearance on our thanksgiving dessert table every year, but I don't think our relative used the whoppers. Great idea!!

Butter Bean Soup

Happy New Year!  We are off to a cold start! It's so cold that the Governor cancelled school for the entire state! That never happens. Up here in Minnesota, when it gets cold, we just pull up our snow pants and pull down our hats.  In the South, they say it's not the heat, it's the humidity.  Up North, we say it's not the cold, it's the wind.  Windchill temperatures (what it actually feels like), are said to be -40 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. That's the coldest it's been since 1996 - just shortly before we moved to Atlanta.  Hmmmm…… it's all coming back to me now.  Nevertheless, my 16-year old says it's a great way to start second semester! When it's cold outside, there is nothing I love more than making soup. Soup is the perfect excuse to stand over a hot stove on a cold day. You can hold soup in a coffee mug and let it warm your hands. You can sip soup in the same mug and let it warm you from the inside out. There's a reason for ...

Dr. Seuss Snacks!

Image
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.  I admit it.  I love Dr. Seuss!  A collection of these sing-song-y rhymes was the first thing I put on the bookshelves of our very first baby nursery.  Four kids later, I now have talents that include being able to recite The Cat In The Hat from memory! In honor of the late great Dr. Seuss (He would have been 107 on March 2nd) we are making these cute snacks!  Absolutely no skill or talent required! Simply start with a box of blue Jell-O..... and divide into four clear plastic cups. (The fish have to have a place to swim!) After the Jell-O has set, have the kids add their own fish!  (Swedish Fish, that is!) Ella's kindergarten class gets a Dr. Seuss party after they have collectively read 107 books! Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Groundhog Pudding Cups

Now that we are back living in The North, I'm starting to remember why, prior to my life in The South, I had only had a handful of pedicures and didn't own any sandals.  Exposing one's feet presents health risks.  Like frostbite. Groundhog's Day (February 2nd) is just around the corner. At this time, as legend has it, the groundhog will either emerge from its hole on a sunny day, see its shadow, get scared, and hide leaving us with six more weeks of winter, or it will emerge on a cloudy day, see nothing noteworthy and predict an early spring.  Sunny or not, a package of Pepperidge Farm Milano's was all the inspiration I needed to celebrate the impending season. When I first saw these cookies in Family Fun magazine, I immediately tore out the page. How cute are these groundhogs?  The actual assembly is a bit tedious, but the eager anticipation of the recipients makes it all worth while. Begin with some Milano cookies.  Use sliced almonds for ...
