Ingredients
  

  • 17.5 oz Pillsbury™ Grands!™ refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 10 slices bacon
  • 5 candy corns
  • 5 mini candy-coated chocolate candies (red)
  • 10 candy eyeballs
  • 15 pretzel sticks (mini, cut in half)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven:

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Shape turkey necks:

    Reserve the icing. Divide dough into 5 rolls; arrange them about 3 inches apart on the sheet. Unroll each roll roughly 1 inch, then tuck the dough back into the roll to shape the turkey's neck.
  • Bake rolls:

    Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer rolls to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Add bacon feathers:

    While rolls bake, fry bacon until crispy; drain on paper towels. Halve each bacon slice. Insert 4 half-slices into the back of each roll so they stand up like tail feathers.
  • Decorate turkeys:

    Drizzle rolls with the reserved icing. Adorn each turkey with candy eyeballs, a candy corn, and a red candy-coated chocolate candy. Just before serving, push halved pretzel sticks under each turkey to mimic feet.
