Crispy Treat Turkey 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.

• Keep pressing the mixture firmly so that it sticks.
• When you are happy with the shape of your turkey, make 2 drumsticks and 2 wings out of the remaining mixture and stick onto the body. They should be sticky enough at this stage to hold, otherwise use a little melted marshmallow. Place in the fridge to set, preferably overnight.
• Make the cake according to pack instructions, adding the sprinkles to the wet batter.
• Cool completely and then cut into small cubes to make the stuffing.
• To make the cranberry sauce-heat the cranberries, sugar, water and orange zest in a small pan until they have burst.
