Turkey Cookies
(saw these at a craft fair years ago--to cute!)

12 chocolate candy stars

12 caramels -- unwrapped

12 scalloped chocolate frosted shortbread cookies

12 pieces candy corn

Microwave Directions: To make each turkey, place chocolate star, point side up, on work surface. Place one caramel on microwave-safe waxed paper; microwave on high for 5 to 10 seconds or just until slightly softened. Place softened caramel on top of chocolate star, pressing down so they stick together. To make the tail, press chocolate cookie, striped side facing forward, firmly against the soft caramel to stand upright. Press candy corn on top of caramel to resemble turkey's beak. Makes 12 cookies.

1 package JELL-O Brand Gelatin any flavor

1/2 cup warm water

1-1/2 cups Miniature Marshmallows or 12 Jet-Puffed Marshmallows

Lightly spray 8 or 9 inch square pan with no-stick cooking spray. Use a

paper towel to spread on bottom and sides.

Mix gelatin and water in 1-1/2 to 2 quart microwavable bowl. Microwave

on high 1-1/2 minutes. Stir to dissolve completely. (Cooking time

varies with oven)

Add marshmallows to gelatin. Microwave 1 minute or until marshmallows are almost melted. Stir until completely melted and mixture is smooth. (Creamy layer will float on top.)

Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until set. Loosen edges using knife dipped in warm water. Starting at one end, roll up tightly. With seam-side down, cut into 10-12 slices. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve
