Chocolate Peanut Butter Turkey’s

Supplies needed:

*Snack size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
*Miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
* Milk Chocolate Frosting, for the glue
*Chocolate Almond Bark, I used 2 squares, melted in microwave
*Vanilla Almond Bark, I used 2 squares, melted in the microwave
*Red Gummy type Fish/Swedish Fish etc….
*Hershey Kisses
* Oreo Cookies, because I Wanted to make 8 turkey’s and the package only had enough for 7 turkey’s

I used sandwich bags and cut of corner, barely making a hole in the bag and put in the melted chocolate or you can use a decorating pastry bag. Squeeze out melted chocolate onto wax paper to make the chocolate feathers and allow to dry.

I cut the Red Fish in half for the snood/wattle.

Gooey Apple Crisp

*5 1/2 cups Apples cut into small pieces or slices, use apples of your choice, I used Red Delicious
*3 tablespoons Lemon Juice to a bowl of water

Cut up apples and place in Lemon Water until ready to use and then drain off water and add the following ingredients. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla to drained Apples.

In a bowl mix:

*1/2 cup Sugar
*1 teaspoon Cinnamon
*1 tablespoon Flour

Add the above mixture to the apples with vanilla.

Crust & Topping

*2/3 cup packed Brown Sugar

*3/4 cup Flour

*1 and 1/2 cups Old fashion Oats

*1 and 1/2 cups Quick Oats

*1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

*1/2-3/4 cup Salted Butter, melted

*Kraft Caramel Bites, handful

Mix together the above dry ingredients together and then add melted butter slowly until desired texture for crust.

In a well-greased/cooking spray 9 x 13 Stone Pan or Glass Pan.

Spread all but 1/2 cup of this mixture for the crust and the 1/2 cup left for the topping. Sprinkle the crust with a handful Caramel Bites.

Layer next with Apple mixture and topping and again with handful Caramel Bites.

Bake in a 350* oven for about 45 minutes

Serves 12 people

Note: This recipe is made to be eaten warm from the oven served with Whipped Topping or Vanilla Ice-Cream. If you refrigerate Apple Crisp it will be difficult to remove from pan.
