These Turkey Twinkies are so easy to make…and fun to eat! They’re the perfect Thanksgiving treat.
I don’t usually buy candy and processed sweets for my kids. But occasionally, I make an exception. Especially for fun crafty food projects!
My kids and I recently made these Thanksgiving Turkey Twinkies, and they loved them! It was their first introduction to Twinkies, and needless to say, they devoured them. We had a lot of fun putting these Turkey Twinkies together, and they had a blast taking them apart and eating them piece by piece!

How do you make Turkey Twinkies?
Ingredients:
Step 1: Cut the Twinkies in half.
Step 2: Using a small knife, poke small holes along the sides of the Twinkies. Make sure to leave some space between the holes, or the candy corn will not stay in. Then, gently poke the candy corn into the holes to create the turkey’s feathers.
Step 3: Use a little cream from the cut side of the Twinkies to attach the candy eyeballs.
Step 4: Cut candy corn into small triangles for the beaks, and even smaller triangles (you can use the excess from the beaks) to create the wattles. Then, use a little of the cream from the Twinkies to attach them to the turkey.
