In the mood for a sweet treat? Indulge in these tasty Rice Krispie treat turkeys. If you know how to make Rice Krispie treats, then these will be an easy way to take care of that sweet tooth. Make the Rice Krispies into a ball and then let them cool. Take two Oreos cookies and put chocolate frosting on the insides of both. Place one Oreo on the bottom of the ball and on the side. Then stick leftover candy corns where the Rice Krispie ball and the oreo meet to create feathers and place one on the front for a beak.
