How to Make Little Turkeys

  1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Place one Fudge Stripe cookie on the prepared baking sheet for each turkey you're making (stripes should be vertical).
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of Crisco.
  4. Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir until completely melted and smooth. If needed, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Dip each mini marshmallow into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl.
  6. Place the chocolate-covered marshmallow on top of a Fudge Stripe cookie.
  7. Place one candy corn on top of the marshmallow to resemble a turkey wattle.
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 until all cookies are decorated.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set.
