Instructions

Melt the white candy wafers in 30-second increments until smooth. Stir at each interval to ensure even heating. Set aside and allow to cool down a bit.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Separate the round Nutter Butter cookies and place on top. (You can scrape off the peanut butter filling or keep it on.)
Smear a little white chocolate melts onto the round cookie and then place a peanut shaped Nutter Butter on the lower half. Be sure to work quickly before the white chocolate sets. I recommend to work in small batches at a time.
Add 5 candy corn pieces on top for the feathers and keep them close together. Gently press it down into the white melts to help them stick. The round peanut butter cookie in the back will help to hold the candy corn pieces up and keep it level.
Use the back of a skewer or use the small tip of a chopstick to dip into the white chocolate then dab a little onto the tops of the Nutter Butters for the turkey's eyes. Immediately add two eyeballs and gently press down to help it stick in place.
Dip the skewer into the white melts again and then dab a little underneath the eyes. Place a Reese’s Pieces half for the beak, gently pressing down to help it stick.
Pipe the red cookie icing on one side of the beak for the wattle.
Allow to set completely before serving, about 15-20 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to speed up the process. Enjoy!

Notes

If you can’t find the round Nutter Butter cookies, you can use another round sandwich cookie such as Oreos or Golden Oreos or different brand of round peanut butter cookie sandwiches. I have seen Walmart have a Great Value option of it.

Instead of white candy melts, you can use white chocolate chips or any other color candy melts or type of chocolate desired.

Instead of red cookie icing to make the wattle, you can melt red candy wafers. Be sure to let it cool a bit before piping so it does not spill out too quickly.
