My mother-in-law hosts Thanksgiving every year. The only food item I'm allowed to contribute is bread. And sometimes appetizers. Oh, and the canned cranberry sauce - but I'm the only one who eats it, so I just bring it for myself :)
So when I found these candy acorn and candy turkeys on pinterest, I KNEW I had to make them. Like, the crafting gods were calling down to me demanding payment. So I agreed. I mean, it was the crafting gods TELLING me to do it!
Hershey kiss. Nilla wafer cookies. and Ghirardelli chocolate chips. Glue is chocolate frosting. Really pretty easy.
These turkeys. Oh boy. Everyone 'claimed' they didn't like candy corn but everyone seemed to enjoy eating them :)
These were WAY more involved. Pretzels. Rolos. Reeces Pieces. Candy Corn. Sugar Pearl Sprinkles. And for the love of all that is good and holy, DON'T.PUT.CANDY.CORN.IN.THE.MICROWAVE.
Yes, that deserved to be in all capital letters. It melts SUPER fast, like, 5 seconds fast. And its 1000% sugar, so it's sticky and gets hard. and takes a lot of effort to get off of whatever it's stuck to. I'm serious. Don't even think about it!
Getting ready to chomp.chomp.chomp.
