The first treat looks like an acorn! These treats are just so adorable, yet simple.
You need glazed munchkins (donut holes), Nutella or chocolate frosting (whichever you prefer), chocolate sprinkles, and small pretzel sticks. Take a donut hole and dip half of it into the Nutella or chocolate frosting. Then cover that end in chocolate sprinkles. Finally, take a small pretzel stick, break it in half and stick it into the frosting side of the donut, and voila! A very quick treat that can be made by the dozens!

The next treat is the Turkey Oreo Balls.
For this, you need Oreos, cream cheese, chocolate, candy corn, sprinkles, and frosting. First, put the Oreos in a dish and crush them finely. Next put in enough cream cheese, and mix! Separate them into one inch balls and chill them in the fridge. After they are chilled, melt some milk chocolate and dip the balls into it and chill them again. Finally, the decorating! If you can find little eye sprinkles, use those as the eyes, if not, just make eyes with white and black frosting. Make an orange beak too, and finally, put 5 pieces of candy corn in the ball, pointy side in, so that they resemble the tail of the turkey.

 

 

The final treat is a mini cornucopia!
A cute and easy treat that can be made as a gift to friends and family. You need a small sugar or waffle cone, M&Ms or other candy, ribbon, plastic wrap, and some rubber bands. To make the cone look like a cornucopia, we need to bend the end of it. Be patient and go slow because you can easily tear the cone. First, run the tip of the cone (and a little bit inside the cone) under water for 20 seconds, and then let it dry for about ten seconds. Then, curl the tip slowly around a pencil and hold in place for another 20 seconds. If it doesn’t bend easily, run it under water again. Let the cone harden for a while and then you can fill it with goodies! M&Ms, Skittles, and other tiny candies to fit inside! Finally, wrap the cone in plastic wrap, secure it with a rubber band, and the tie a ribbon around to hide the rubber band and you’re done!

I hope you enjoy these treats and have a happy Thanksgiving!
