This sweet-treat is easier to eat than a full caramel apple, making it perfect for little ones. Plus, it's way easier to eat!

These nutty gobblers are as cute as they are tasty and easy to make, so kids can help with making them while parents are getting the real turkey ready. The only steps needed in making these cookies are to top the Nutter Butters cookies with candy corn for the tail, a mini peanut butter cup for the head, and candy eyes. These can be attached to the cookie with melted down candy medallions.

All it takes to make the turkeys is to fill the fingers of a clear disposable glove with different colored M&M's, fill the hand with popped popcorn, and tie off the thumb finger with a twist tie to top it all off. Add on some construction paper eyes and beak and you've got yourself a turkey!

Honor the nation's first settlers with these pint-sized chocolate pilgrim hats. At the bottom of a fudge-striped cookie, add enough icing and stick a mini peanut butter cup on it.
