How To Make Pumpkin Pie Turkeys

Making these Pumpkin Pie Turkeys is as easy as pie! You’ll need:
9-inch Pumpkin Pie
Biscuit Cutter (this is the best one I’ve found!)
Mini Peanut Butter Cups
Candy Eyeballs
Orange Reese’s Pieces
Candy Corn
Melted Chocolate Chips
Step 1 – Cut Out Circles in Pumpkin Pie
The easiest way to do this is by using a biscuit cutter. You can use a cookie-cutter, but I like the biscuit cutter’s depth a little better. Cut out as many as you can from your pie.
Depending on the size of the pie, you’ll get 4-6 circles.
(Note: this pie was an extra-large Costco version 🙂 )
Step 2 – Melt Chocolate Chips and Cut Reese’s Pieces in Half
Step 3 – Attach Peanut Butter Cup to Pumpkin Pie
After you’ve unwrapped your peanut butter cup, affix it to your pumpkin pie circle narrow side down on the lower half with a little melted chocolate.
Step 4 – Attach Candy Eyeballs and Reese’s Pieces
On top of the peanut butter cup, attach two candy eyeballs with melted chocolate. Then take half a Reese’s Pieces and attach it longways under the eyes with chocolate to make the beak.
Step 5 – Apply Candy Corn Feathers
Place 5 pieces of candy corn at the top of the circle to form tail feathers, narrow side pointing down.
Let the chocolate harden and serve!
Tips for Making Pumpkin Pie Turkeys
- As we mentioned, we like a 1.5-inch biscuit cutter to make the round turkey bodies, but a round cookie cutter of the same size will also work.
- This Pumpkin Pie Dessert will last a couple of days in the refrigerator, but it is best to serve them soon after making them.
