Choturkey Chocolate Turkey for Thanksgiving

Gayle's Choturkey is truly a chocolate lover's dream. It's got 5 pounds of milk, dark and white chocolate inside. This bird cracks open to unveil milk chocolate wishbones, truffle drumsticks and two pounds of Gayle's stuffing: caramel popcorn, chocolate covered popcorn, roasted cashews and pastel chocolate cherries. And if that's not enough for you, there's also the solid chocolate acorns and maple leaves that decorate the outside. Looks like we'll be dieting for days after this Thanksgiving. 11.17.2009
