Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes Recipe

These Thanksgiving Turkey cupcakes are a delicious and festive way to celebrate the holidays and are a wonderful way to get kids involved! 

Ingredients
  

  • Frosted chocolate cupcakes (store-bought or make your own)
  • Oreo cookies or chocolate sandwich cookies
  • Candy corn
  • Candy googley eyes
  • Mini Peanut Butter Cups
  • Dried Goji berries 
  • Gel icing 

Instructions
 

  • We used store-bought chocolate frosted cupcakes but you can always make your own from scratch or a cake mix!
    First, place two Oreo or chocolate sandwich cookies onto the icing. One should be sitting flat, and the other should be sitting upward. 
    Place a few candy corn to act as the turkey feathers on the upright Oreo cookie. It helps to separate the cookies and then place the candy corn inside the frosted part. 
    Finally, Place a peanut butter cup upright onto the flat oreo. Use gel icing (we used store-bought) as "glue." Then, add a malted chocolate ball for the head on top of the peanut butter cup.
    Use gel icing to add candy eyes on the malted ball and a dried Goji berry for the wattle. Other things you can use for the wattle are a tiny piece of fruit leather, mini candy M&Ms, dried strawberries, or even the end of a candy corn! Step Two: Create the FeathersStep Three: Add the Final Touches
