WHAT TO SERVE WITH YOUR TURKEY OREOS
Sides
When serving up a plate of whimsical Turkey Oreos, it's delightful to pair them with sides that complement their playful nature and sweet taste. Consider setting up a dessert spread that encompasses the cozy flavors of fall. Mini pumpkin pies or tarts, a bowl of candied pecans, and apple cider doughnut holes make perfect companions.
Desserts
Add a silky pumpkin mousse or a classic pecan pie to harmoniously blend with the chocolatey notes of the Oreos. Consider a spiced apple crumble or a creamy butterscotch pudding as they both carry flavors that resonate with Thanksgiving's palate.
Drinks
Choosing the right drink to pair with this dessert can elevate the whole experience. For a warm, comforting pairing, a mug of spiced chai latte or hot cocoa can beautifully complement the sweet and chocolatey notes of the cookies.
For younger guests, a frothy glass of cold milk is an undeniable classic with Oreos. If you're leaning towards festive beverages, a creamy eggnog or an apple cider, either chilled or warmed with a cinnamon stick, can encapsulate the essence of the season alongside your Turkey Oreos.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about making Turkey Oreos at home.
Can I use any other cookies besides Oreos?
Yes! While Oreos offer a great contrast and size, any round cookie with a similar size can be used as a base.
Do I need any special tools?
No, you don't need any special tools. But, having a small spatula or toothpick can be handy for applying icing or peanut butter.
How long do Turkey Oreos last once made?
Stored in an airtight container, they can last up to a week. However, the candies might soften if stored for extended periods.
Are there any variations I can try?
Definitely! Some people like using different candies for feathers, adding pretzel sticks as legs, or using colored icing for added details.
Can I make these ahead for a party?
Yes, they can be made a day or two in advance. Just store them in a cool place in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
What's the best way to store them?
Keep them in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator as the moisture can make the cookies soggy.
Can kids help in making Turkey Oreos?
Absolutely! Kids often enjoy placing the “feathers” and “eyes.” It's a great family activity. It's a fun activity for the kids to make at your Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving gathering.
Where can I find edible eyes?
