Easy Turkey Suckers Kids Will Love

How cute are these easy turkey suckers! They are so unique and would make a great addition to your next thanksgiving party, a treat for kids to take to school or a way to surprise your coworkers. Seeing the physical changes of the candy once under heat while making these turkey suckers, could turn this recipe into a fun learning project.

Ingredients

Jolly Ranchers – orange, yellow, green, red
Orange Tic-Tacs
Candy eyes
Red hot candies
Sucker sticks

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees

2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper

3. Unwrap Jolly Ranchers

4. Stick together 2 yellow jolly ranchers vertically, make sure they are touching. Then take your red, orange and green jolly ranchers and stick them above the yellow ones in a fan motion. Leave enough space so when they come out of the oven you can put a sucker stick in them.

5. Stick in oven for about 5-6 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and take them out when you get the melted desire you are wanting.

6. Immediately roll the end of a sucker stick in each sucker towards the bottom.

7. Quickly add the candy eyes, tic-tacs and redhots. If suckers start to harden, don’t worry, get a lighter and stick the flame carefully where you want the candies to go to and hold for a few seconds. It will melt the sucker just enough so you can stick the candies on.

8. Let them set at room temperature until harden, about 10 minutes.

9. Then they are ready to eat!!
