Aren’t they fun?! These little cute turkey Thanksgiving desserts are SO easy to make – adorable for the kids. Or, you could really make them a fun activity to make with the kids for Thanksgiving. What kids wouldn’t want little pies with candy?! Perfect!!
Making “Turkey” Chocolate Pies
If you’re making it for the kids, then this can come together so quickly. You just need a few supplies – mini pie shells, chocolate pudding (you can make your own or use store bought), candy corn, candy eyes, and some colored frosting (or candy melts). Then, with just a few minutes of assembly, you have these cute little turkey pies!
Or, if you don’t want to assemble them, this would be a great “make your own” Thanksgiving dessert to do with the kids! You could set up a little table or assembly station where the kid can create their own cute mini edible turkeys. You could have all the little pie tins filled and then let the kids create their own turkeys. It gives them something to do (without being too messy or too time intensive) and everyone has a fun edible treat at the end of it!
