Honestly, where did November go?!

We swear that we just blinked for a second, and now it’s Thanksgiving!

Don’t get us wrong.

We love a good excuse to stuff ourselves on turkey, dressing, and pie as much as the next person.

But we’re just a little astonished (and way, way underprepared).

Luckily, we have a token last-minute Thanksgiving recipe or two.

And one of them happens to involve snacking on No-Bake Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys.

Would you really expect any less from us?!?

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys

Step 1 – Cut the tops off of the strawberries.

Making sure that you cut the “back” flat so that the tail stands upright.

Step 2 – Dip and cover the strawberries in the melting chocolate and place them on wax paper.

Step 3 – Once the chocolate is almost dry (but still sticky), press half of a fudge stripe cookie onto the back on the strawberries to make the feathers.

If you have any excess chocolate on the side of the turkeys, use a butter knife to cut it off. 

Step 4 – Then, press a candy corn on the tip of the chocolate covered strawberry to make the beaks.

Step 5 – You can put eyes on them with royal icing.

But we like to keep it simple, especially since they never last long.
