Get yourself some Oreos, candy corn, some chocolate chips, and a few other candy bits and bobs, and you’ve basically got the stuff to build these Thanksgiving desserts that’ll make everyone lose their minds at how absolutely stinkin’ adorable they are.
I mean, come on, just LOOK at them!
I love them because, again, cuteness, they’re no-bake, and insanely easy to make. Even if your kitchen prowess is microwave popcorn, you can make these.

Ingredient Notes
These are perfect for kids, broke college students, or anyone who needs a fun last-minute treat that looks like you tried.
- Oreos: Obviously. Double-stuffed ones work great – the more stuffing, the better the candy corn will hold.
- Chocolate chips: The glue for the candy.
- Candy: This is where you can let your creative flag fly. I like the candy eyes for personality, and the candy corn is pretty much a MUST — About 5 per cookie (buy extra; a few will “accidentally” get eaten).
The nose and the waddle (haha, yes, that’s a word. It’s the weird red dangly thing on turkeys use orange Reeses pieces (M&M’s work too), and red candy icing for the waddle (you could also use red tictacs). Use all the candy listed here, or skip what you don’t want to use. Sub in different colors if you want – the world’s your oyster, my friend.

👀 How to Make Them At A Glance






- Set up a tray with parchment. Melt a small bowl of chocolate until smooth.
- Twist the cookies open so you’ve got a cream side to work with.
- Swipe a little chocolate on the center of the cream.
- Press in candy corn to make the tail. Five pieces look full, but use what you have.
- Cap the cookie and press gently so it holds.
- Add tiny dabs of chocolate on the front for eyes and a beak. Stick on the candy pieces.
- Pipe a little red wattle.
- Chill the tray for a few minutes so everything sets. Then plate or pack.
See? Simple dimple!

Tips To Make These Turkey Cookies Amazeballs
- Make them a day ahead if you’re tight on time. They’ll still look perfect tomorrow.
- Only make a few at a time. The chocolate sets fast!
- If the cookies crack, patch them with a bit of melted chocolate. (or, you know, just eat them.)
- Store-brand sandwich cookies work fine if you like the way they look. (Save some cash!)
- If your kitchen’s warm, chill the cookies after each step so nothing slides around.
Got a little party going on or coming up to attend? These make adorable party favors or a fun plate on the dessert table. Put a few in a small box with tissue paper as a gift, or lay them out on a platter for kids to gobble at a classroom party.
If you want to be more playful, you can even pair them with other fun, no-bake treats for a full spread, like No-Bake Bird’s Nest Cookies or Elf Cookie Bites.

These Turkey Oreos are ridiculous in the best way. They’re so stinkin’ cute you’ll feel like Martha herself while you’re lining them up, except you don’t have to display them on the “very best tray”.
They’re little sugar bombs of happiness with candy corn feathers and chocolate glue holding everything together like sweet, sweet magic.
Grab a glass of milk (trust me, you’ll need it), take a bite, and try not to laugh at how proud you feel over a cookie that looks like it’s side-eyeing you.
Thanks for stopping by today – I’m really glad you’re here.
Easy Turkey Oreo Cookies Recipe

These Turkey Oreos are crunchy, chocolatey, and full of candy corn feathers that somehow make sense when you see the finished cookie. This is one of those easy-as-heck projects that turns basic ingredients into something people will talk about all day.
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies (Double-Stuf preferred)
- ½ cup chocolate chips, melted
- CANDY:
- 120 pieces candy corn (5 per cookie)
- 48 candy eyeballs
- 12 orange Reese’s Pieces, halved (or any orange candy)
- Red cookie icing for the wattle
Instructions
- Melt chocolate chips in 30-second bursts until smooth, stirring between each one.
- Line a tray with parchment paper. Twist the Oreos apart carefully.
- Working in small batches, spread a little melted chocolate near the top of the cream side.
- Press approximately five pieces of candy corn for the feathers.
- Replace the top cookie and press gently.
- Add a dab of chocolate for the eyes and beak. Stick on candy eyeballs and half a Reese’s piece.
- Add a small line of red icing next to the beak for the wattle.
- Chill the cookies for 5 to 10 minutes so the chocolate sets before serving or packaging.
Notes
- Press candy corn in slowly so you don’t crack the cookies.
- If your chocolate thickens, reheat for 10 seconds to loosen it.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
- Expect missing candy corn if you have kids helping.
- If candy corn isn’t available, mini pretzels work for feathers too.
- Skip Reese’s Pieces for peanut-free zones and use orange M&M’s instead.
- They freeze fine for a week or two if you need to prep ahead.
- **** above 'cooking' time of 10 minutes indicated actual 'chilling' time instead.
