"Thankful Turkey" Cupcakes

   

Prep Time:10 minutes (excluding baking time for cupcakes.)

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cupcake per person
  • Chocolate Frosting
  • 1 bag Candy Corn
  • 1 Nabisco Nutter Butter® cookie per person
  • 1 Almond per person with one tip cut off.
  • Peanut Butter

 

 

 

 

 
You're family is sure to be thankful for this gobbling good Thanksgiving treat!
 

Directions:

 

Remove cupcake from paper cup or pan. Frost the entire cupcake. Place the cupcake on a plate on its side (See illustration). Cut a wedge in the center bottom of the cupcake where the head will go.

Treat Time:

Let children put the cookie in the wedge with a dab of frosting to help hold it in place. Cut the tips off 2 candy corns and use peanut butter to stick the tips onto the sides of the cookie for the turkey’s eyes. Use a toothpick to dab a bit of chocolate frosting on the eyes for pupils. Use peanut butter to stick almond onto the cookie for the beak. Then with each candy corn you stick into the cupcake to make turkey feathers say one thing you are thankful for. (Since there are more things to be thankful for than you can name be sure to say different things than you did when making your squash turkey.)
