Turn chocolate peanut butter fudge or chocolate caramel fudge into these whimsical fudge turkeys. These sweet treats are fun to serve for Thanksgiving.
Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave using 30-second bursts of high power, stirring after each until melted.
Stir the peanut butter into the melted chocolate. Be sure it is very well mixed, or you will end up with little hard bits of chocolate once this sets up.
Cover and allow this chocolate peanut butter fudge to sit at room temperature for 2-6 hours until it hardens just enough that you can scoop it out and roll it into balls.
If you are making the caramel version, let the chocolate cool to about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring often. Stir the Dulce de Leche into the melted chocolate and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
Dust your work surface lightly with powdered sugar. Or you can roll your modeling chocolate out onto a non-stick silicone mat without needing to use powdered sugar.
Roll out some of the yellow, red, orange, and brown colored modeling chocolate to about 1/16-inch thickness.
Serve and enjoy.
If you don't have tiny candy eyes, make some using white and black modeling chocolate or a black food coloring marker. You can also use small white confetti sprinkles and a food coloring marker.
Store your fudge turkeys in an airtight container for up to several weeks.
