Melt chocolate wafers in microwave. Start with 30 seconds, stir and add 10 second increments until smooth and melted.
Cut the bottom 1/4 off of 12 peanut butter cups {discard bottom portion} and attach 5 candy corns to larger piece using melted chocolate in a fan shape.
Once the candy corns have adhered well, attach that piece, on the cut edge {using melted chocolate} to the back portion of the whole peanut butter cup. Keep the wrapper on the bottom piece for easier handling.
Cut a small piece off each Rolo candy {it will give you a flat edge} and attach the cut part to the whole peanut butter cup with the larger flat end pointed out {using melted chocolate}. {It needs to be in front of the peanut butter cup with candy corn.}
Add a Whopper candy to the top of the Rolo candy and attach {using melted chocolate}.
Cut the white end off of 12 candy corn candies {aka turkey beak} and attach to the front of the whopper {using melted chocolate}.
Add two edible eyeballs to each Whopper candy {using melted chocolate}.
Add a red sprinkle below the candy corn {using melted chocolate}.
To add a name, tape paper onto a toothpick and insert into peanut butter cup.

Work on parchment or wax paper. It makes cleanup easy and keeps the melted chocolate from sticking to your counter.
Let each piece set for a minute or two before adding the next. This keeps the candy corn feathers and Rolo bodies from sliding out of place.
These also work well on a dessert table or as a homemade gift for family and friends.
