Turkeys Two Ways

We're getting into the Thanksgiving spirit and what better way than to make turkey cupcakes? No, no, not actual turkey, but chocolate and peanut butter cupcakes that look like turkeys! This week we'll show you two ways to create turkeys using candies and cookies - which works out well if you just found a stash of leftover Halloween candy.

Here's what you'll need for these little guys:
-Candy Corn
-Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (one for each cupcake)
-Yellow or Orange Jelly Beans

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the jelly beans in half lengthwise. Next, unwrap your peanut butter cups and using red icing, "glue" the jelly bean halves to the bottom of the peanut butter cups. Two dots of black or white icing will make the eyes and you have your turkey heads!

Frost your cooled cupcakes using peanut butter frosting (or another flavor colored brown) and create a mound shape with your spatula. We used about 8 candy corns per cupcake for the feathers, but use as many or as little as you'd like. Place the turkey heads at one end and then fill in the feathers by sticking the pointy end into the frosting.


Voila - some very tasty turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner!
