Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, cubed4 cups miniature marshmallows6 cups crisp rice cereal28 chocolate sandwich cookies1-1/2 cups chocolate frosting1 package (11 ounces) candy corn28 malted milk balls White candy coating, optional
Preparation
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add marshmallows; stir over low heat until melted. Stir in cereal. Cool for 10 minutes. With buttered hands, form cereal mixture into 1-1/2-in. balls. Twist apart sandwich cookies. If desired, remove filling and save for another use. Spread chocolate frosting over each cookie half.
Place 28 cookie halves under cereal balls to form a base for each turkey. Place 5 pieces of candy corn in a fan pattern on each remaining cookie half; press each half onto a cereal ball to form the tail. Use frosting to attach 2 pieces of candy corn to each cereal ball to form turkey wings. For each head, attach a malted milk ball with frosting; cut white tip off additional candy corn and attach to head with frosting to form beak. If desired, place melted white candy coating in a piping bag fitted with a #1 round tip; pipe onto head to form eyes. Allow to stand until frosting has set. Store, tightly covered, at room temperature.
