How To Make Turkey Brownie Cupcake
- Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and bake brownies according to the package instructions, if needed. Allow them to cool completely.
- Cut 10 circles from the cooled brownies using a 3-inch circle cutter.
- Flip the brownie circles upside down so the smooth side is facing up, making it easier to frost.
- Spread a thin layer of chocolate frosting on each brownie.
- Place a Nutter Butter cookie in the center of each brownie, positioning it halfway down for the turkey’s body.
- Attach two candy eyeballs and half of an M&M to each Nutter Butter using small dabs of frosting to form the turkey’s face.
- Press six candy corns into the top of each brownie to create the turkey’s feathers.
- Enjoy your cute and tasty brownies!
Step-By-Step Process
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- If you don’t have a circle cutter, any similarly sized object like a glass will work to cut the brownies.
- Try swapping the M&Ms for Reese’s Pieces for a different flavor or color combination.
- Press the candy corns into the brownies while the frosting is still soft to ensure they stay in place.
- If you have extra time, baking the brownies from scratch adds a personal touch to the recipe.
