Turkey cupcakes or cookies?

I am in charge of snacks for my daughters soccer game this Saturday. I'm trying to find a recipe for Turkey cupcakes or cookies using candy corn. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

CANDY CORN COOKIES

2/3 cup all purpose flour
1 roll 18 oz refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/3 cup light corn syrup
Yellow and orange sugar crystals
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Knead flour into dough until blened and smooth. Divide dough in half. Roll 1 half into a 9 inch circle. Cut circle in half, cut each half in quarters. Place wedges about 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake 12 minutes until cookies are golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Heat corn syrup in a bowl in microwave until boiling. Pour yellow sugar crystals in a shallow bowl. Working with one cookie at a time, brush all but 1 inch from tip with heated corn syrup. Dip about 1/2 inch of rounded edge into yellow sugar. Sprinkle remaining brushed area with orange sugar to coat. Repeat with remaining cookies and sugar. Let set about 30 min. until dry. Heat white chocolate chips in microwave 1 min. until melted. Dip pointed end of cookies in chocolate, shaking off excess. Place on sheet of wax paper until set. Makes 16 cookies. These cookies are really cute when made look like big Candy Corns.

Found this one with a picture using the recipe finder.

OREO TURKEYS

Found these versions on the Southern Living message boards last year, but never made them.

VERSION #1
candy corn
OREO's
red hots
malted milk balls
chocolate frosting

Take Oreo cookie; twist apart. Turn the side that has the white stuff on it back (that's the base of your turkey creation). Put a small dab chocolate frosting in middle of white stuff; "glue" a malted milk ball to base.

Take some more frosting; "glue" the other 1/2 of the Oreo to the back of the malted milk ball (this will be the base for the turkey feathers.)

Using frosting to attach pieces, assemble turkey as follows: stack a 2nd malted milk ball on first, making turkey's head. Then, attach candy corn in a fan pattern on upright Oreo 1/2, creating a turkey's fanned tail.

Last, attach a red hot on front of 2nd (topmost) malted milk ball to resembel turkey "gobbler". (The red hot is actually attached at a 90º angle, with a thin edge touching the face of the milk ball. You'll see how it needs to go on the bird when you make it.)

VERSION #2

Open an Oreo cookies. Using chocolate frosting as glue, place 2 halves at right angles, fililng side inward. Put a malted milk ball between halves for turkey's body. Place candy corn, spoke-like, on inside of upright cookie 1/2 for turkey's tail-feathers. Complete turkey by attaching a cinnamon candy on malted milk ball as turkey's snood.

VERSION # 3

Separate an Oreo cookie. Spread chocolate frosting on cream side of both cookies. Form Rice Krispie treats into an Oreo size ball. Stick Rice Krispie treat ball onto 1/2 cookie. Stick other cookie 1/2 on back end to resemble tail. Decorate with 4 candy corns, pointed side inwards (tail feathers). Put blob of chocolate frosting on head. Attach 1 candy corn for beak.

Helpful or not, I don't know!

ENJOY!!!!

Gobbler Goodies:

1/4 c butter or margarine
4 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups crisp rice cereal
28 cocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies
1 1/2 cups chocolate frostine
1 pkg (12 1/2 oz) candy corn

In saucepan, melt shortening. Add marshmallows; stir over low heat til melted. Stir in cereal. Cool for 10 min.

With buttered hands, form mixture in 1 1/2 inch balls. Twist apart cookies; spread frosting on the inside of cookies.

Place 28 cookie halves under cereal balls to form the base for each turkey. Place 3 pieces of candy corn in a fan pattern on remaining cookie halves; press each half onto a cereal ball to form the tail. Atttach remaining candy corn with frosting to form turkey's head. Makes 28. I, myself, would also add (with frosting) a small piece of red licorice or marachino cherry to tip of head for the wattle.

Could also use large wrinkled raisin for the head instead of candy corn.

Turkeys!

Round crackers like Ritz crackers
Candy corn
Canned vanilla frosting
Chocolate Kiss candy
Caramel


Spread the vanilla frosting onto the cracker.
Place 5-candy corn around the top part of the cracker.
Place the candy Kiss at the bottom of the cracker to make the body.
Spread a little frosting on the Kiss and put a piece of candy corn on that for its beak.
Put a small amount of frosting on the back and attach the caramel to that so it stand.

Here's how I made my turkeys.

gingersnap base
chocolate covered cherry body
candy corn beak
fruit slice tail (like gum drops only shaped into a crescent)

I "glued" all the pieces together with chocolate frosting. Oh and I flattened the gum drop tail out somewhat with the palm of my hand.
