Instructions:

Repeat each of these steps for each turkey.
*
Melt about 1/4 cup of the chocolate wafers in glass measuring cup in the microwave on 30 second increments, stirring until melted.
Take 1 cookie and with a knife cut the bottom off the cookie, just enough to lay flat when cookie is placed on the table. Note: Make sure the stripes on the cookie are going horizontal or vertical which ever way you prefer.
Take a 2nd cookie lay it stripe side down. Take the cut cookie representing the feathers and add melted chocolate to the cut side and place on the flat cookie to one side of the hole in cookie. Hold for 30 seconds or so until it is stabile.
Take 1 malted milk ball add a dab o melted chocolate, just enough to attach it to the center front of the cookie you attached the cookie which is your feathers. Then add the cranberry covered chocolate for the head (to the malted milk ball), add melted chocolate, again just enough to attach to the malt milk ball body. Allow to set. Then attach the eyes, beak and feet using the tweezers to pick them up with, then use a tooth pick to apply melted chocolate to cut edges and attach to turkey as desired. Allow chocolate to set.
Take a Cinnamon bear and cut a semi-thin slice off each of the arm sides of the bear body and cut into strip pieces to make the waddle, shape waddle more if desired. Attach with melted chocolate or sometimes it is sticky enough to attach.

Note: Let each step set before adding more turkey parts.
