Melt the chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate wafers using the microwave's low or defrost setting. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let the chocolate cool slightly.

.Add the feathers:
- Work with 4–6 cookie halves at a time to prevent the chocolate from hardening too quickly.
- Spread a small amount of melted chocolate near the top edge of each cookie half.
- Arrange 5 pieces of candy corn in the melted chocolate to resemble feathers, pressing gently.
-
Assemble the turkeys:
Place the remaining cookie halves back on top, sandwiching the candy corn feathers in place.
-
Add the eyes:
- Use a skewer or toothpick to apply a small dab of melted chocolate to the front of the cookie where the eyes will go.
- Press two candy eyeballs into the chocolate.
-
Create the beak:
- Dab a small amount of melted chocolate below the eyes.
- Place a halved Reese’s Pieces on top of the chocolate to form the turkey’s beak.

-
Add the snood:
Use red cookie icing to pipe a small line next to the beak, creating the turkey’s wattle or snood.
-
Set the turkeys:
Transfer the Oreo Turkeys to the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes to set.
