Easy No-Bake Thanksgiving Treats

Pilgrim Cookie Hats, Chocolate Acorns, Pretzel Turkeys, and Oreo Turkeys are the cutest Thanksgiving treats! No oven required and they take only minutes to make!

Easy No-Bake Pilgrim Hats

• white chocolate chips
• orange food gel
• Keebler Fudge Stripes cookies
• Rolo chewy caramels, unwrapped
• yellow M&Ms

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir in the food gel until combined and orange. Using a spatula, transfer melted chocolate to a small Ziploc bag; snip off a small corner.
2. With the chocolate-covered side of the Keebler cookie facing up, pipe some of the dyed white chocolate in the center. Place a Rolo candy on top, forcing the melted chocolate to squish out from underneath, forming a thick ring. (If not, pipe a line of the chocolate around the bottom of the Rolo.) Dot a small amount of the melted chocolate onto an M&M, and then place it up against the Rolo to form a “buckle.”
3. Allow the “glue” to set for 5 or so minutes and enjoy!

Easy No-Bake Pretzel Turkeys

• waxed paper
• Pretzel Crisps
• melted white chocolate
• red food gel
• semi-sweet chocolate chips
• candy corn

1. Place pretzels on some waxed paper.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Using a spatula, transfer most of the melted chocolate to a small Ziploc bag; snip off a small corner. Mix the remaining amount with the food gel until combined and red. Using a spatula, transfer to a small Ziploc bag; snip off a tiny corner.
3. Pipe some melted white chocolate into the top two holes of the pretzel, and the middle hole, continuing downward. Place a chocolate chip in each of the top two holes. Press a candy corn, pointed end downward, on the center chocolate. Pipe a tiny amount of the red-dyed chocolate next to the beak to form the “wattle.”
4. Allow the “glue” to set for 5 or so minutes and enjoy!

Easy No-Bake Oreo Turkeys

• white chocolate chips
• red food gel
• golden Oreos
• mini golden Oreos
• mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• candy corns, halved

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Using a spatula, transfer most of the melted chocolate to a small Ziploc bag; snip off a small corner. Mix the remaining amount with the food gel until combined and red. Using a spatula, transfer to a small Ziploc bag; snip off a tiny corner.
2. Gently separate a large Oreo cookie, leaving the filling intact. Press the tips of 6 candy corns into the filling. Pipe a small amount of the melted white chocolate onto the filling and adhere the top of the Oreo cookie back on. Pipe a small amount of the white chocolate near the bottom of the Oreo cookie; place a mini Oreo cookie on top of that. Pipe a small amount of white chocolate onto the mini cookie; dot with two mini chocolate chips and half a candy corn. Pipe a tiny amount of the red-dyed chocolate next to the beak to form the “wattle.”
3. Allow the “glue” to set for 5 or so minutes and enjoy!

Easy No-Bake Chocolate Acorns

• mini Nilla wafers
• Hershey’s Kisses
• semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
• mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave for about 45 seconds; stir until smooth. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, if necessary. Using a spatula, transfer melted chocolate to a small Ziploc bag; snip off a tiny corner.
3. Pipe a small amount of the chocolate onto the flat side of each cookie and immediately press a Hershey’s kiss on top to attach it. Place on the prepared baking sheet, cookie side down, and repeat with the remaining cookies and kisses; place in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
4. Pipe a smidge of the melted chocolate onto a mini chocolate chip and attach it to the top of the wafer to create the stem.
5. Place back onto the baking sheet until all the acorns are finished. Freeze for another 5 minutes to set completely.
