Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 9-inch Pumpkin Pie homemade or store-bought
For the Decorations
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips melted
  • 6 pieces Mini Reese’s Cups
  • 2 pieces Candy Eyes
  • 4 pieces Orange Reese’s Pieces halved
  • 10 pieces Candy Corn

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by ensuring your 9-inch pumpkin pie has cooled completely and settled, typically around 2 hours if it's homemade. Place the pie on a sturdy serving platter.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup of chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until fully melted and glossy.
  3. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, take a spoon and gently drizzle it over the cooled pumpkin pie in a beautiful zigzag pattern or fun swirls.
  4. Center 6 Mini Reese’s Cups atop the chocolate-drizzled pumpkin pie. Place 2 candy eyes on each Reese’s Cup, and for the beak, position 4 halved Orange Reese’s Pieces below the eyes.
  5. Arrange 10 pieces of candy corn around the Reese's Cups on the edge of the pie, standing upright to create colorful tail feathers.
  6. Finally, refrigerate the newly assembled pumpkin pie turkeys for 15-20 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set properly.
