Oh it has been FAR too long since I’ve done a post with Reese’s!  It seems that every recipe I make around here that involves Reese’s gets consumed faster than I can take pictures 🙂  It’s hard work being a food blogger!

I totally meant to share these cuties with you guys before I left for vacation but well, life got in the way 🙂  And laundry.  And missing shoes.  And total and complete exhaustion.  But now I’m back!  And I’m still dealing with all of that fun stuff BUT I’m much happier 🙂

So you all know I love any and everything to do with Reese’s – they’re kind of like my favorite thing, EVER.  Cookies, bars, cheesecake, trifles, bread…I love it all!  Well these turkeys are one of my favorite ways to enjoy three different types of Reese’s in one totally adorable treat!

You may have noticed that I used Reese’s Dark Miniatures for the head of the turkey.  Two reasons for this.  One – I like the contrast in color from the head to the body.  It’s subtle, but it’s there.  Two – the Dark Miniatures tend to peel nicely from their wrapping without leaving little bits of chocolate behind.

Now don’t get me wrong, one of my favorite things about eating a Reese’s is licking the sweet remains from the wrapper.  But for these little guys, I want the candy to be completely intact and the Dark Miniatures work best for that.

I used to make these turkeys without the candy eyes, and just used yellow Reese’s Pieces for those.  And you can too!  But the turkeys DO look a little cray cray when you do that 🙂  Ever since Target started carrying these cute little candy eyes (in the baking aisle!), I’ve kept them in stock for all sorts of fun food ideas.

The eyes, nose, and “feathers” are all held on with a little chocolate “glue” – aka, melted chocolate.  This sweet bird is totally edible and is 99.9% Reese’s – just the way I like it!
