14 candy eyes

# How to Make It:

Unwrap the mini Reese's cups and set aside. Lay out pairs of candy eyes for assembly.
04 -
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or on a paper plate to use as edible adhesive.
05 -
Dip the back of each candy eye into the melted chocolate and affix them to the mini Reese's cups to form pairs of eyes on each cup.
06 -
Trim one side of each orange Reese's Pieces candy to create a flat surface. Coat the flat side with melted chocolate and position it centered beneath the eyes.

Place each assembled turkey face on the lower third of each pumpkin pie circle.

Fan out 5 pieces of candy corn above each turkey face and gently press them into each pumpkin pie circle to resemble feathers.
