Reeses Owls

My reputation as of late is “the crazy owl lady”!

It is no secret that I absolutely adore owls.
From the many owl necklaces in my jewelry box
to my etsy shop, The Trendy Owl.

If it has an owl on it…I will seriously think about buying it!
(Even now I am considering an owl cover for my phone)

So with “owl”oween coming up very soon,
(sorry I couldn’t resist)
I really wanted to make a simple owl treat that my kids
could help out with too.
They were more than ready to help me assemble owls…
only because I promised them Reeses when they were done.

Bribery.

It works every time:-)

I love how the edges of the reeses are ruffled…
makes it look like feathers, right?
Plus any treat made with reeses is an A+ in this household!

Everything on these owls is store bought.
All you have to do is bake the cupcakes…
and those came from a mix too.
See I told you it was easy:-)

Oh cute little owl.
I wouldn’t dream of eating you because…you are SO cute.

Wait!

You have a reeses body…

I can’t be held responsible for what happens next:-)


Reeses Owls

by Inside BruCrew Life
Prep Time: 30 minutes
6032742
Ingredients
  • reeses pb cups
  • mini oreos
  • candy eyeballs (I got mine at Hobby Lobby)
  • orange chocolate covered sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 c. chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp. shortening
  • lollipop sticks
Instructions
Melt the chocolate and shortening in a microwave safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and creamy. Place in a plastic baggie and cut the tip off. Use a sharp knife and cut a small slit in the side of the reeses cup. Dip the end of the lollipop stick in chocolate and very carefully insert the stick in the slit. Be careful to go straight in or you will have a reeses cup casualty.
Twist apart the oreos and use the side with frosting. Attach a candy eye to the frosting using the melted chocolate. Attach the oreo to the top of the reeses cup with more chocolate. Dip the back of the sunflower seed in chocolate and attach to the cup. Let set and then place into the top of a cupcake. Break the stick to fit just right.
*Note: I didn’t put measurements, because you can make as few or as many as you like.
