Nov 25, 2013 >> Kid Friendly Thanksgiving DIY #1 [VIDEO]

With Thanksgiving around the corner, you’ll need all hands on deck. Even the tiny little ones. G&F creative director D. Graham Kostic recruited his niece Francesca for a sweet one-on-one with Chef Alekka Sweeney of Give Me Some Sugar. The result? Fun, quirky Thanksgiving day treats that the whole family will enjoy.

Up first? We make funny little chocolate turkeys with candy trimmings that are finger-licking good. Although delicious, these little works of art can be used as name holders for place settings and decor. And while Graham and Alekka’s turkeys were rather charming, Francesca’s quirky turkey definitely won best in show. Watch the G&F extra below to learn this very simple DIY. And stay tuned later this week for another kid-friendly project.
