The 3 Best Fun Thanksgiving Food Ideas – Pilgrim Hats, Oreo Turkeys, and Sugar Cone Cornucopias

November 4, 2013 By Paula 1 Comment

I did a lot of searching and have gathered what I believe are the 3 best fun Thanksgiving food ideas from across the web that the kids are sure to love!

Thanksgiving Pilgrim Hats

The best of 3 Fun Food Thanksgiving Ideas - Pilgrim Hats, Oreo Turkeys, and Sugar Cone Cornucopias 

Ingredients:

Chocolate Wafer Cookies (such as Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers or Keebler Fudge Stripe)
1 tube orange or yellow frosting with piping tips
1 Bag small peanut butter cups or chocolate-covered marshmallows

Directions:

  • Place cookies on work surface; squeeze a dime-size dot of frosting in the center of each
  • Prepare chocolate-coated marshmallows or
    Unwrap and invert peanut butter cups on frosting, pressing down gently
  • Using the round piping tip, pipe a “hat-band” with frosting around peanut butter cup or marshmallow and a square “buckle.”
  • Store airtight at room temperature up to 3 days. Let frosting set before storing.

Oreo Thanksgiving Turkeys

The

Ingredients:

 
Double Stuff Oreo Cookies
Candy Corn
Whoppers
Peanut butter Cups
Chocolate frosting
Yellow Frosting
Optional: Red frosting
Optional: black sprinkles for eyes

 

The
First step:  Grab a cookie.  You don’t have to put frosting in there, but I like to because it holds in the candy corn a little better. Just give it a little squeeze of chocolate.
The
Then stuff in your candy corn.  If you’re in some sort of candy corn shortage, you can cut off the white tips to use later for your beaks.  I think the candy corn sticks in better with the tip so I leave it on.  Go ahead and do all of the cookies through this step.
The
Next, put a dab of frosting on the opposite end of the cookie and secure it to the “base” cookie.  It helps to place them next to a wall as they dry so they stay put.
The
While those are drying, unwrap your PB cups.  Take a sharp knife and cut a sliver off of one end.  (I don’t need to tell you what to do with the sliver, do I?)  It helps to gently cut in a sawing motion so you don’t break the PB cup.  (I don’t have to tell you what to do with a broken one, do I?)  Cut it from the bottom like shown here:
The
Once those are ready, flip your cookies over, but you may find it’s easy to keep them next to the wall.  My frosting was a bit soft, so they needed the extra support.
Place a dab of frosting on the PB cup, and place it on the cookie like so:
The
Now those little guys will need heads, so glue a whopper on there with frosting as well. I put frosting on the side of the whopper that hits both the cookie and the PB cup.  Wouldn’t want a turkey running around with its head cut off, would we??
The
While they’re still laying there, use a dab of frosting (I use yellow) and glue on the white tip of a candy corn for a beak.  Put two yellow dots on for eyes, and for the black spots in the eyes you can use a dab of chocolate frosting, or a mini chocolate chip, or a little sprinkle like I’ve used.  A sprinkle is really the perfect size if you have them.
The
Once the beak stays put you can flip them over and draw on some little yellow feet. If you have red frosting too (usually comes in a set with the tube of yellow) you can add a little gobble, gobble (It’s called a caruncle).
And there you go, cute as can be!
The
These make really cute place card holders too, for either a kid or adult table!
How cute is this little turkey family?
The
Stick one on each plate and everyone will say “Awwwwwwe….” If you have kids old enough to handle making them, it’s a fun project for them to be in charge of.
The
They’re also darling combined with pilgrim hats.
The
Those are just marshmallows dipped in chocolate and placed on a fudge stripe cookie.  Use yellow frosting to make the buckle.

Thanksgiving Sugar Cone Cornucopias

This was the best how-to that I found to shape the cones:
Take a couple of paper towels, fold them up into a square, wet them, and then ring out most of the water. You want them to be damp, but not dripping. Place your wet paper towels on a microwave-safe plate, then place the bottom half of the ice cream cones on the paper towels and cover them up. Two at a time worked the best because you only have a little bit of time to work with them after they come out of the microwave.
TheThe
Microwave the cones for around 30 seconds depending on the strength of your microwave. You want the ends of the cones to be soft enough to mold without burning the part that isn’t in the paper towel. You also need to re-wet the paper towel after two 30 seconds runs in the microwave.

Remove the plate from the microwave and pull back the paper towel carefully. They will be hot! Pick up your cones, and working quickly bend the end of the cone using your hands, the countertop, or even a clean pencil. You will have to hold the ends in place for a few seconds until they cool enough to keep their shape.

Careful: Cones can be really hot!

From: Random Thoughts of a SUPERMOM!
 
After you finish forming all your cones, melt a little bit of chocolate in a coffee cup or small bowl in the microwave.
Then dip just the very end of the cone in the chocolate…
The
…and place your dipped cone in a small plate of chocolate sprinkles, fall-colored sprinkles, nuts, or any tiny candies you like.
The
From: Random Thoughts of a SUPERMOM!
 
The possibilities are endless as to what you can put in these cornucopias.
Here are some suggestions:
Bite-size candies such as Runts, Skittles, M&M’s, Candy Corn or Harvest Mix,
All Kinds of Cereal or Chex Mix
Teddy Grahams, Goldfish & Animal Crackers
Pretzels & Nuts
Whipped Topping
Dried Fruit
Anything that will fit in it can be used.
Let your imagination go wild and have fun!
 
Here are some images of the ones that I thought had some of the most creative contents.

I would love one filled with dried apricots, raisins, pretzel sticks, & goldfish.
