Candy corn. When we finally got to do some real trick-or-treating (after that whole trick-or-treat on the wrong night fiasco), my daughter was disappointed that she didn’t get any in her bucket. So, I went out and got a bag (75% off since it was after Halloween).
I decided we’d put some of it to good use and craft a few candy corn turkeys as an after school treat this week.
I have to say they were both pretty excited when I brought our turkey ingredients to the table.
I gave each of them a marshmallow to use as the turkey’s body, a handful of candy corn for its feathers, and a cut piece of Twizzler Pull-N-Peel candy to use as legs and a waddle. I also got out some orange decorating icing for a beak (although candy corn would have worked as well), and some small dark candies for eyes.
They wasted no time getting creative!
Of course, their favorite part was eating their creations!
Like our candy corn turkey? Check out our marshmallow snowmen!

Thanks so much for stopping in! My kids are marshmallow nuts! LOL — once they grabbed a bag and ate half of it before I caught up with them. Seriously.
I hope your daughter has fun making herself a couple turkeys! Thanks for the follow — off to check out your blog!

Well somehow I think I missed your Halloween fiasco!! Ugh. But I love your turkey and can’t wait to go check out your snowman!!!
OneMommy says
You have all the reason in the world. The fiasco had to do with the fact that someone told us they had trick-or-treat going on on the 30th, and when we went, we were the only ones trick-or-treating….
How are you doing?
Chris Carter says
You are SO sweet to ask!!! I am healing okay- just a lot of pain still. Apparently it is common with this type of surgery. But just glad I have my strength back!! SO glad for that! 🙂
