TURKEY RICE KRISPIE TREATS RECIPES

Steps:

• Follow the Rice Krispies Treats recipe on the cereal box.
• Drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto waxed paper and let them sit until they're cool enough to handle.
• For each turkey body, create a ball the size of a fist. The heads should be about the size of golf balls. Stick the heads to the bodies. (Coat your hands with butter or cooking spray if the mixture gets too sticky.).
• To make feathers, thread licorice onto the skewers or toothpicks. Poke about six into the back of each turkey.
• Use the melted chocolate chips as "glue" by pouring the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag and snipping a tiny hole in one corner. Use this to attach the following items: for eyes, use the marshmallows with chocolate for pupils; for the beak and feet, use candy corn; for the wattle under the bird's neck, use licorice. Makes about six to eight turkeys.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lightly grease with cooking spray; set aside. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium. Set aside 4 marshmallows for garnish; add remaining marshmallows to melted butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until almost completely melted, about 2 minutes. Add peanut butter and vanilla to marshmallow mixture, and cook, stirring constantly, until completely melted and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Add rice cereal, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon that has been sprayed with cooking spray until mixture is thoroughly combined. Remove from heat.
• Coat your hands with cooking spray to prevent mixture from sticking. Set aside about one-fourth of the cereal mixture for the “wings” and “drumsticks.” Shape remaining mixture into a teardrop-shaped “body” about 8 inches across at the wide end and about 12 inches long, and place on prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, create a 4-inch-deep cavity at the narrow end of the teardrop shape. (Do not hollow out the entire body.)
• Shape reserved cereal mixture into 2 wings and 2 drumsticks, and place on parchment paper with turkey body (do not attach). Lightly coat a large piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray; gently cover turkey with aluminum foil (coated side down), and chill 1 to 2 hours. 
• Transfer turkey body to a serving platter. Attach wings and drumsticks with wooden picks. Fill cavity with candy corn, and sprinkle candy corn around turkey. Attach reserved marshmallows to tips of drumsticks to resemble drumstick bones.
